In  loving  memory  of  my  wife  Julia,  who  was  the  only  person  that  ever  accorded 
■^me  the  slightest  encouragement  in  this  work  and  whose  untimely  demise  vividly 
' impressed  me  of  the  utter  worthlessness  of  so-called  science  when  put  to  the  abso- 
lute test,  are  these  pages  affectionately  dedicated. 


\ 


Why  fondle,  cherish  and  revere  a fabled  thing  paraded  as  science  when  it  only 
holds  bitter  disappointment  in  dire  requirements? 


“TERTIUM  QUID” 

The  descriptive  explanation  which  covers  what  is  commonly  designated  as  both 
Cause  and  Nature.  This  description  is  rendered  by  comprehending  what  is  insensible 
and  connecting  it  to  sensibility  in  place  of  merely  describing  what  is  sensible,  which 
ever  and  always  is  the  tangible  result  of  Cause  or  what  is  insensible,  and  then  attempt- 
ing by  theory  to  set  up  by  designation  non-existent  things  to  stand  as  Cause.  The 
solution  should  be  read  with  special  attention  being  paid  to  the  strict  or  literal  define- 
ment  of  the  several  designations  employed,  in  which  it  should  be  realized  that  unless 
a designation  connects  visability  to  invisability  as  Motion,  Movement  as  material 
under  Impellment  by  quantity  or  Volume  pressure  of  material,  such  designation  can- 
not hold  any  meaning  other  than  as  agreed  upon.  While  the  eye  enables  it  does  not 
supply  comprehension. 

It  will  be  realized  that  the  ancients  were  close  to  solution  as  evidence  by  the 
Latin  phrase  used  as  the  title  of  this  work.  Comprehensively  worded  it  would  read — 

The  third  something  produced  by  the  Union  of  two  different  formations  (things) 
or  by  the  collision  of  two  opposing  formations  (forces) — Under  continuous  impellment 
of  the  volume  pressure  of  the  Whole  or  the  entire  quantity  of  material  in  atomic 
form.  Note — The  original  wording  is  bracketed  and  the  last  sentence  is  added. 


PREFACE 


The  following  is  a story  that  has  never  been  written  for  the  very  good  reason 
that  the  story  has  never  been  known.  It  is  a story  for  the  reason  that  man  is  limited 
to  description  of  what  is — i.  e.,  the  occurrences  of  Nature.  The  past  and  present 
understanding  of  man  consists  of  the  theories  advanced  or  evolved  to  account 
for  what  he  senses  and  under  this  system  of  theoretical  computation  he  has  ever  been 
so  unfortunate  as  to  misconceive,  and  thereby  miscompute,  what  is  insensibly  respon- 
sible for  what  he  senses.  The  result  of  this  is  that  he  sets  up  theoretical  designations 
which  have  no  existence  whatever  and  for  that  reason  he  is  only  able  to  simulate  an 
understanding  by  blind  belief.  It  is  in  this  manner  that  he  insults  and  belies  his 
loudly-heralded  intelligence  for  his  science  rests — not  on  proof — but  on  the  challenge 
that  the  theories  composing  his  science  or  understanding  be  disproven.  As  these 
theoretical  designations  are  non-existent  it  is  just  as  nearly  possible  to  disprove  them 
as  it  is  to  prove  them.  There  is  but  one  test  for  intelligence  and  that  is  the  realiza- 
tion that  no  man  can  understand  what  he  is  unable  to  comprehend.  Who  can  qualify? 
Man  is  and  ever  has  been  in  the  dilemma  of  being  unable  to  become  intelligent  without 
understanding  and  he  cannot  evolve  understanding  without  intelligence.  Transposed, 
this  means  that  the  solution  cannot  be  understood  without  understanding  and  under- 
standing is  not  to  be  had  without  understanding  the  solution.  The  exact  meaning 
of  this  is  that  until  man  is  in  some  manner  impelled  into  the  realization  that  his  entire 
system  of  communication  is  only  possible  by  designation,  and  our  past  and  present 
system  of  designation  is  theory  for  the  mere  reason  that  in  no  manner  does  designation 


— 3 — 


bear  connective  comprehension  to  actuality  or  what  is  designated  as — Cause — we  will 
hold  that  our  understanding  is  correct  and  inculcate  this  understanding  as  education — 
that  higher  education  or  enlightenment  is  possible  by  adding  to . our  “knowledge 
amassed”  or  the  basis  of  understanding  but  the  incontestable  fact  is  that  our  science 
or  understanding  is  composed,  in  entirety,  of  theories  or  that  impossible  of  under- 
standing whereupon  it  follows  that  our  education,  or  descriptive  explanations  of  what 
does  not  exist,  is  likewise. 

Because  of  this  it  will  be  found  that  the  description  of  the  occurrences  of  Nature 
by  comprehension  is  an  entirely  different  matter  than  the  description  by  sensing 
occurrences.  We  are  beguiled  by  possibilities  of  description  into  the  belief  that  those 
making  them  must  be  possessed  of  superior  knowledge  or  they  would  not  be  able  to 
make  them  but  the  fact  is  that  silver-tongued  orator  and  the  gripping  writer  are  but 
mere  entertainers.  The  following  from  the  pen  of  William  Mathews,  LL.D.  is  illus- 
tration that  cannot  be  mistaken  in  this  feature  as  also  that  of  a vaunted  superiority 
of  one  man  over  another  by  and  from  the  skill  acquired  by  training  in  which  we 
accord  the  one  a worshipful  acquiesence  of  superiority  and  contrastingly  hold  the 
other  in  a species  of  contempt  or  disdain  although  it  frequently  occurs  that  the  lesser 
light  is  of  superior  combination  but  is  satisfied  with  the  innate  knowledge  of  the 
fact  and  makes  no  effort  to  dislodge  the  inferior. 

“In  attending  a concert  in  one  of  our  large  cities,  did  you  ever  observe  the  wide 
chasm  that  separates  the  first  and  second  violins  of  the  orchestra?  One  is  all  pomp, 
fire,  bustle,  enthusiasm,  energy.  Now  waving  his  bow  high  in  the  air,  he  silently  guides 
the  harmony;  now  rapidly  tapping  on  the  rest-board,  he  hurries  the  movement;  and 


4 — 


again,  bringing  the  violin  to  his  shoulder,  he  takes  the  leading  strain,  and  high  above 
the  crash  of  sound,  above  the  shrill  blast  of  the  trumpet,  the  braying  of  horns,  the 
ear-piercing  notes  of  the  fife,  the  sobbing  oboes,  the  wailing  of  violincellos,  and 
all  the  thunders  of  the  orchestra,  are  heard,  distinct  and  clear,  the  shrieking  notefe 
of  the  first  violin.  Dressed  in  unimpeachable  broadcloth,  with  kids  and  linen  of  im- 
maculate purity,  stamping  his  feet,  wagging  his  head,  nodding  earnestly  to  the  right 
and  to  the  left,  and  beating  time  with  mad  energy,  he  enters  heart  and  soul  into 
the  music,  oblivious  of  all  things  else  and  all  because  he  is  the  leader,  and  plays 
the  first  violin.  Standing  by  his  side,  but  on  a lower  platform,  and  before  a lower 
music-rest,  is  a careworn,  patient  man,  who  saws  quietly  on  the  strings,  with  the  air 
rather  of  the  hired  laborer  than  of  the  enthusiast.  His  eye  you  never  see  in  a fine 
frenzy  rolling,  glancing  from  heaven  to  earth;  from  earth  to  heaven,  nor  does  his 
facile  hand  run  off  roulades  of  melody;  he  never  wags  his  head,  nor  stamps  his  foot, 
nor  labors  to  wreak  his  thoughts  upon  expression,  but  steadily  and  conscientiously 
he  pours  a rich  undercurrent  of  harmony  into  the  music,  which  few  hear,  fewer  care 
for,  but  without  which,  losing  the  charm  of  contrast,  it  would  be  as  dreary  as  the 
droning  of  a bagpipe,  as  monotonous  as  a picture  which  is  all  lights  and  no  shadows. 
With  his  eye  fixed  on  the  notes,  he  scrapes  away  with  diligence,  not  with  enthusiasm; 
he  is  moved,  not  by  the  inspiration  of  a master,  but  by  the  reflection  that  he  is 
exchanging  his  notes  for  dollars,  and  that,  with  each  quaver,  he  earns  so  much  bread 
and  butter  for  his  family.  Yet  this  automaton — this  musical  machine,  that  plays  its 
part  so  mechanically,  with  apparently  as  little  interest  in  the  result  as  a calculating 
machine  in  the  solution  of  a mathematical  problem — may  have  been  endowed  by 


— 5 — 


nature  with  as  much  genius  and  fire  as  that  thundering  Jupiter  of  the  orchestra,  the 
leader;  but  alas!  he  plays  second  fiddle.” 

This  descriptive  contrast  of  two  men  is  full  exposition  of  the  manner  in  which 
our  understanding  is  evolved  and  installed.  The  conclusion  accepted  by  man  is  that 
the  first  violin  has  greater  knowledge.  There  is  no  question  as  to  where  or  how  he 
got  it  but  it  is  deemed  a conclusive  fact  that  he  has  it.  Were  you  to  inquire  of  this 
designated  genius — what  is  music — he  is  unable  to  inform  you  beyond  stating  it  is 
vibrations.  It  will  thus  be  discerned  that  it  is  what  man  does — and  not  what  he 
knows — that  constitutes  his  understanding,  but  it  is  not  a difficult  matter  to  realize 
that  this  understanding  is  in  any  and  all  instances  but  skill  acquired  by  training. 
We  are  lost  in  the  sublime  description  of  what  the  first  violin  does  and  marvel  at  the 
ability  of  the  man  making  the  description  but  outside  of  the  entertainment  afforded 
thereby  it  is  an  awful  jumble  of  words  in  which  actuality  and  theory  are  indiscriminately 
mixed  but  the  feature  is  that  we  assume  to  understand  the  designations — soul,  heaven, 
inspiration,  etc.,  which  we  are  unable  to  sense  as  well  as  the  man,  violin  and  the  music 
which  we  do  sense. 

The  belief  of  the  world  is  that  understanding  will  be  some  day  discovered  by  or 
through  the  medium  of  experiment  hence  the  mass  of  endeavor  is  concentrated  on 
experiment.  This  fact  shatters  man’s  pet  “law  of  averages”  for  among  the  millions 
of  men  who  have  sought  solution  in  this  manner — it  appears  that  not  one  has  held 
the  realization  that  in  order  to  be  able  to  conduct  an  experiment  at  all — it  was  im- 
peratively necessary  to  use  the  very  thing  that  the  experiment  Was  expected  to 
reveal.  It  is  a dismal  realization  for  man  to  make  in  the  recognition  of  the  fact  that 


— 6 — 


the  labors  of  the  innumerable  men  of  the  successive  generations  have  been  in  vain 
for  the  defined  purpose  of  evolving  an  understanding  that  could  be  understood  and  that 
all  the  endeavors  of  all  men  correspond  to  what  is  described  in  Mechanics  as  “Lost 
Motion”.  Because  of  this  installed  system  the  man  working  in  Pure  Science  is  utterly 
alone  and  is  regarded,  by  even  his  close  associates,  as  a harmless  Nut — is  the  recipient 
of  commiseration  and  is  accorded  ridicule  and  even  hostility  by  those  who  understand 
theory  so  well  that  it  exceedeth  the  understanding  of  man.  It  is  for  this  reason  that 
mankind  will  hesitate  to  accept  the  solution  as  understanding  or  that  which  renders — 
difference  of  opinion — impossible.  The  author  is  under  full  realization  that  it  appears 
little  short  of  brazen  effrontery  to  flaunt  the  solution  as  understanding  against  the 
assumptive  and  assumptively  accredited  theories  of  the  world’s  proclaimed  authorities 
which  constitute  the  world’s  science  or  understanding  but  the  solution  represents 
what  the  innumerable  men  of  all  ages  have  attempted  to  determine  by  experiment 
and  have  ignominiously  failed.  It  is  both  comprehensible  and  comprehensively  veri- 
fiable, hence  no  man  can  either  challenge  or  deny  it — nor  can  he  criticise  it  for  all  he 
has  to  criticise  it  from  is  belief  or  that  impossible  of  understanding. 

NOTE — The  author  is  fully  aware  of  the  apparent  crudity  of  expression  and  only 
offers  the  solution  as  delineation  of  existing  principle.  Sooner  or  later  it  will 
be  realized  that  our  words  of  communicable  designation  or  expression  are  evolved 
by  theory  to  support  theory  from  which  it  follows  that  the  description  of  actuality 
by  comprehension  with  the  words  of  theory  is  an  exceedingly  difficult  matter. 
The  solution,  however,  will  tax  the  fabled  minds  of  those  who  are  so  fond  of 


— 7 — 


accusing  others  of  possessing  the  single-track  mind  for  it  reverses  computation. 
Man  has  the  obdurate  habit  of  gleefully  stating  that  “there  is  one  born  every 
minute”  but  in  making  such  assertion  it  is  implied  that  the  orator  is  not  of  the 
great  majority.  The  fact  is,  however,  that  this  computation  should  be  raised  in 
ratio  to  “mark  time”  with  the  actual  birth-rate  for  all  men  have  always  been 
under  an  understanding  by  beliefs  hence  from  any  other  belief  than  the  one  ac- 
cepted the  believer  eminently  completes  the  implied  designation. 

Few  will  ever  realize  the  labor  involved  and  the  difficulties  encountered  in  per- 
fecting the  solution  and  connecting  it  to  adaptation.  It  was  a wrecking  proposition 
for  assistance  was  not  to  he  had.  In  any  other  human  endeavor  it  is  possible  to  secure 
aid,  consultation  or  at  least  encouragement  but  if  this  was  possible  there  would  have 
been  no  necessity  for  the  solution.  With  its  completion  the  author  announces — he 
is  done — that  the  task  of  installing  comprehension,  made  possible  by  the  solution, 
devolves  on  someone  else  and  that  it  will  be  anything  but  child’s  play.  The  author 
expresses  this  in  the  words  of  an  unknown  writer  to  whom  he  offers  apology  for  adapt- 
able mutilation.

A TOAST 


Here  is  a toast  that  I want  to  drink  to  a fellow  I’ll  never  know — 

To  the  fellow  who’s  going  to  take  my  place  when  it  is  time  for  me  to  go. 

I’ve  wondered  what  kind  of  a chap  he’ll  be,  and  I wish  I could  take  his  hand, 
Just  to  whisper,  “I  wish  you  well,  old  man”,  in  a way  he’d  understand. 

I'd  like  to  give  him  the  cheering  word  that  I’ve  longed  at  times  to  hear; 

I’d  like  to  give  him  the  warm  handclasp  when  never  a friend  seemed  near. 

I’ve  learned  my  knowledge  by  sheer  hard  work,  and  I wish  I could  pass  it  on 
To  the  fellow  who’ll  come  to  take  my  place  some  day  when  I am  gone. 

Will  he  ever  see  the  sad  mistakes  man  has  made,  and  note  all  the  battles  lost? 
Will  he  ever  realize  the  tears  they  caused  or  the  heartaches  they  cost? 

Will  he  gaze  through  the  failures  and  fruitless  toil  to  the  underlying  plan, 

And  catch  a glimpse  of  the  real  intent  and  the  heart  of  vanquished  man?* 


I dare  to  hope  that  he  may  pause,  some  day,  as  he  toils  at  what  I have  wrought. 
And  gain  some  strength  for  his  weary  task  from  the  battles  I have  fought. 

But  I’ve  only  the  task  itself  to  leave  with  the  cares  for  him  to  face, 

And  never  a cheering  word  may  speak  to  the  fellow  who’ll  take  my  place,. 


— 9 — 


Then  here’s  to  your  health,  old  chap;  I drink  as  a bridegroom  to  his  bride; 

Tho  I leave  an  unfinished  task  for  you,  you  will  never  have  to  be  so  tried. 

I’ve  dreamed  my  dreams  as  all  men  do,  but  this  one  came  true, 

And  my  prayer  today  is  that  it  may  be  realized  by  you. 

And  I’d  like  to  hover  near  you,  while  you  labor  to  banish  the  misery  of  man, 

And  when  your  dreams  come  true,  you’d  recognize  my  absent  handclasp  as  true, 
E’en  though  wreck’d  and  tired  and  blue,  you  could  not  mistake  it — Jan; 

So  I’m  drinking  your  health  old  chap,  who’ll  realize  what  I’ve  gone  through. 

*Man  has  ever  been  vanquished  but  it  is  himself — his  science — alone  that  is 
responsible  for  it — hence  his  deliverance  consists  of  his  escape  from  himself — i.  e., 
from  the  impositors  of  belief  under  the  guise  of  the  fabled-super-man.  On  the  theory 
that  he  is  a wonder  his  vaunted  efficiency  consists  of  rendering  himself  more  wonder- 
ful by  his  descriptive  intensification  of  theory  with  the  inevitable  oonsequence  that 
the  world  of  today  seeks,  not  the  man  of  knowledge,  but  the  man  who  can  destroy 
the  world  or  any  part  of  it,  as  it  appertains  to  man,  in  an  instant.

TERTIUM  QUID 


Or  the  solution  of  what  is  commonly  designated  as  natural  cause. 

Pure  Science 

When  man  uttered  the  phrase — “By  their  works  ye  shall  know  them” — he  revealed 
the  entire  theme  and  scheme  of  the  erratic  system  by  which  he  evolved  and  continues 
to  evolve  his  understanding:  For  it  is  and  ever  has  been — what  he  does — and  not  wiiat 

he  knows — that  constitutes  his  science,  knowledge  amassed  or  understanding.  If  man 
cannot  realize  that  all  that  he  has  ever  done,  has  been  done  without  understanding — 
his  case  is  indeed  hopeless. 

Because  of  this  fact,  the  significance  of  wTrich  is  that  he  applies  theory  to  actuality, 
he  ever  has  been  and  is  the  recipient  of  the  result  adverse  to  his  intent,  attempt  and 
expectation.  This  is  evidenced  on  every  hand  but  is  more  vividly  emphasized  in  the 
reputed  historical  record — that  in  3000  years  of  history  there  have  been  but  60  years 
of  peace.  Man  would  hardly  avow  that  the  maintenance  of  war  was  his  sole  occu- 
pation but  if  this  was  his  one  definite  purpose  he  could  not  have  been  more  phenom- 
enally successful.  He  is  and  ever  has  been  devoid  of  the  realization  that  it  is  he, 
himself,  who  must  furnish  the  victory,  glory  or  stated  success  and  that  this  is  only 
possible  at  the  expense  of  his  form.  Man’s  ideals  consist  of  the  conceptive  recognition 
of  what  is  possible  for  him  to  have  but  true  to  his  theoretical  system  of  attainment, 
his  sages  of  superlative  wisdom  inform  him  that  his  ideals  are  utopian  and  that  it  is 
what  he  has  that  is  actual,  unavoidable  and  inescapable,  whereas  it  is  the  reverse 
that  is  true.  In  like  manner  man  endows  himself  with  a soul  and  in  the  hysterical 


— 11 


attempt  to  save  a supposed  thing  that  has  no  existence  whatever  he  sacrifices  actuality 
for  an  absolute  nothing.  He,  alone,  it  is  who  fashions  and  imposes  his  theoretical 
crosses,  invents  his  mystic  burdens  and  when  the  results  of  his  applying  theory  to 
actuality  becomes  sensible — he  prays  for  deliverance  but  as  his  deliverance  consists 
of  being  delivered  from  his  science  he  explains  the  failure  as  punishment — meaning 
that  it  is  not  intended  that  he  ever  be  other  than  an  unwitting  victim  of  his  science 
or  imbecility.  The  Bible  is  accepted  by  the  majority  of  mankind  as  their  authority 
for  their  proclaimed  understanding  of  actuality.  For  the  purpose  of  Pure  Science  it 
is  utterly  worthless.  It  is  the  work  of  man  and  is  evolved  without  understanding  and 
evidences  the  crude  imprint  of  his  attempt  to  gain  understanding  by  and  from  the 
description  of  results.  This  same  evidence  is  present  in  any  volume  ever  written  or 
in  any  oration  ever  uttered  by  man  for  ever  and  always  it  is  the  description  of  result 
with  a guess  as  to  what  it  was  that  was  responsible  for  the  result  or  what  man  sensed — 
is  and  ever  was  insensible,  therefore,  it  is  impossible  of  computation  by  sensment. 

Man  avers  that  he  evolves  his  understanding  by  reasoning  from  cause  to  effect — 
but  as  he  has  never  held  the  slightest  conception  of  what  it  was  that  constituted  cause, 
it  is  obviously  certain  that  he  could  not  employ  it  in  any  phase  of  reasoning.  Again, 
if  man  held  the  understanding  of  cause  he  would  be  enlightened  and  there  would  be 
no  necessity  for  either  theory  or  the  continuous  search  for  the  understanding  that 
past  and  present  knowledge,  so-called,  neither  supplies  nor  enables.  This  he  reveals 
in  his  statement  that  “It  is  not  known  what  electricity  is” — but  just  what  is  it  that 
he  knows  any  more  about?  This  specific  occurrence  is,  like  all  other  occurrences, 
but  a descriptive  designation  of  what  is  sensed  and  as  comprehension,  or  the  only 


— 12  — 


thing  possible  to  understanding^  connect  the  part  to  the  whole,  is  absent — it  the 
mere  designation — is  theory  and  evidenced  as  such  by  the  explanation  that  it  is 
phenomena.  The  designation  (electricity)  is  the  assumption  of  knowledge  and  the 
explanation  (phenomena)  is  apology  for  the  assumption.  The  fact  is  that  everything 
man  senses  is  phenomena  for  there  is  not  anything  that  he  does  sense  that  he  does 
understand.  The  apology  for  phenomena  is  mystery  and  is  designation  of  what  is 
sensed  as  being  responsible  for  phenomena.  This  is  the  ludicrous  feature  of  man’s 
understanding  for  in  designating  all  he  senses — and  has  every  opportunity  to  determine 
— as  phenomena  he  literally  confessed  he  is  unable  to  understand  all  or  anything  he 
is  conscious  of.  In  contrast  to  this  confession  of  inability  at  determination  he  frant- 
ically and  hysterically  proclaims  that  he  perfectly  understands  mystery  by  theory. 
In  so  many  words  the  super-man  or  man  of  supposedly  exalted  wisdom  would  have 
us  believe  that  he  understands— that  which  is  insensible  and  which  he  is  unconscious 
of — perfectly  by  theory.  He  has  not  the  slightest  proof  that  the  theoretical  designation 
really  exists  yet  he  misconceptively  renders  it  sensible  by  theoretical  designation  and 
understands  it  by  belief. 

NOTE — To  many  it  may  appear  that  undue  stress  or  emphasis  is  laid  on  this  feature 
but  it  will  be  impossible  to  establish  and  install  comprehension  until  such  time 
as  it  shall  be  realized  that  understanding  by  belief  is  utterly  impossible. 

The  feature  of  the  foregoing  is  that  by  and  from  his  conceptions  of  visability  and 
invisability  he  computes  both,  theoretically,  and  because  he  senses  the  one  and  cannot 
sense  the  other  he  concludes  they  are  two  separate  things  which  he  designates  as 


13  — 


material  and  force  and  as  the  latter  is  insensible  it  is  only  by  theory  that  man  believes 
he  renders  it  tangible  or  sensible.  It  is  in  this  manner  that  he  dominates  and  enslaves 
himself — describing  his  formation  as  poor  clay,  and  force  as  a supposed  spirit  and 
worships  the  theory  at  the  expense  of  his  formation.  It  is  on  this  theory  that  he 
assumes  to  conquer  Nature  and  exhibits  the  hallucination  of  individual  superiority 
in  all  that  he  does.  The  law  does  not  apply  to  the  law-maker  because  he  made  it. 
It  does  not  apply  to  the  delegated  authorities  because  they  are  clothed  in  it.  The 
feature  of  responsive  belief  is  in  evidence  when  all  laws  break  down  and  suffering 
humanity  appeals  to  that  super-man — the  scientist  under  designation  as — statesman — 
for  relief.  He  calmly  advises  the  populace  to  be  patient  informing  them  that  matters 
will  finally  adjust  themselves  which  exposes  the  fact  that  actuality  must  repair  or 
replenish  the  results  of  the  applying  theory  to  actuality.  Science  may  be  described 
as  utterly  failing  to  enable  man  to  secure  what  he  should  have  and  it  also  has  failed 
to  determine  just  what  he  should  have.  It  seems  it  remained  for  Vance  Thompson  to 
clearly  delineate  what  man  strives  to  attain  which  he  does  in  the  following  words. 

“It  is  a tragic  law  that  if  you  would  go  far  and  fast  you  must  haul  after  you — 
far  and  fast — the  mass  behind  you.  And  it  follows  that  your  good  is  the  good  of  all. 
Of  course  this  a commonplace — as  common  as  sunlight — an  old  universal  truth.  Your 
good  is  the  good  of  all.  This  is  a statement  which  contains  all  truth,  moral,  political, 
economical.  Precisely  as  all  geometric  elements  are  contained  in  a circle,  all  truths 
are  packed  into  that  one  true  saying:  Unless  a thing  be  good  for  the  hive  it  is  not 

good  for  the  bee.  This  is  all  very  well,  you  say,  but  how  am  I to  pay  my  debt  to 
the  hive  and  yet  protect  myself?  Every  philosophy  the  world  has  ever  had  was  an 


— 14  — 


attempt  to  solve  this  riddle.  Every  experiment  in  government  was  another  attempt. 
Man  has  never  done  anything  but  try  to  live  in  the  hive,  while  preserving  his  own 
indomitable  sense  of  individual  bee-hood — of  remaining  a nobly  isolated,  self-respecting 
bee.  The  man  inside  you  does  not  work  for  others  except  for  the  compelling  reason 
that  it  is  only  by  working  for  others  that  he  can  get  his  own  work  perfectly  done.’’ 
This  concisely  describes  what  it  is  man  strives  to  attain.  The  following  as  concisely 
describes  the  failures  of  the  attempts. 

“Success  is  for  the  fluent  talkers — the  self-convinced  dogmatists — everything  is 
admitted  on  condition  that  it  be  noisily  proclaimed.  Let  us  throw  off  this  sham  and 
recognize  that  in  reality  we  know  nothing  about  anything  if  things  were  not  proved 
to  the  bottom.  Scientifically  nature  is  a riddle  without  a definite  solution  to  satisfy 
man’s  curiosity.  Hypothesis  follows  on  hypothesis;  the  theoretical  rubbish  heap 
accumulates  and  truth  ever  eludes  us.  To  know  how  not  to  know  might  well  be  the 
last  word  of  wisdom.” — Henri  Fabre.  But,  just  what  is  it  that  has  ever  been  proved 
to  the  bottom? 

No  one  has  so  aptly  described  man  as  the  puppet  of  his  understanding  as  has 
Pope  in  his  Essay  on  Man  in  the  following  lines. 

“A  being  darkly  wise  and  rudely  great, 

Great  lord  of  all  things,  yet  a prey  to  all, 

Sole  judge  of  truth,  in  endless  error  hurl’d. 

The  glory,  jest  and  riddle  of  the  world.”

Byron  chimes  in  with — 

There  is  no  hope  for  Nations, 

They  build  on  things  which  rot  beneath  them. 

These  descriptions  are  criticisms  of  the  failure  of  man  to  gain  enlightenment 
by  what  he  does,  but  criticism  is  of  itself  failure  for  it  is  unable  to  supply  the  in- 
formation that  would  render  the  failure  of  attempt  impossible  and  it  also  shows  that 
we  cannot  get  anywhere  by  an  understanding  by  belief. 


MAN’S  CONCEPT  OF  NATURE 

Man  has  a false  concept  of  Nature  in  that  he  is  ever  attempting  to  conquer  or 
assist  it  when  all  that  he  can  possibly  do  is  to  adapt  himself  to  that  quantity  which 
forms,  maintains  and  relieves  him  of  form.  He  constantly  prates  about  un-natural 
things.  What  are  they?  What  un-natural  act  can  man  perform?  None  whatever  for 
if  he  could  he  would  and  thereby  disrupt  nature.  ‘From  the  standpoints  of  ideality 
and  possibility  he  does  this  very  thing  for  in  getting  the  things  he  wants  he  eventually 
finds  they  are  the  opposite  of  what  he  concluded  he  wanted. 

The  Medical  scientist  reveals  this  misconception  when  he  asserts  that  he  is 
assisting  Nature  and  unconsciously  he  is  correct  for  regardless  of  what  he  does  it  is 
impossible  for  him  to  do  otherwise  as  so-called  disease  and  death  compose  Nature 


— 16  — 


to  the  same  extent  as  does  health  and  life.  Sooner  or  later  realization  will  penetrate 
the  ivory  dome  of  man  and  he  will  recognize  the  fact  that  the  so-called  sin,  crime, 
filth,  slime  and  other  numerous  ravings  of  the  reformer  and  the  “Much  good  will  come 
of  it”-fiend— who  delights  in  informing  mankind — “That  a new  world  is  being  born — 
and  it  will  be  a much  better  world” — compose  Nature  while  his  theories  do  not.  Man 
cannot  and  therefore  should  not  conclude  that  he  can  compute  Nature  from  his  stand- 
point or  by  his  inductions  of  that  of  which  he  is  a part.  It  may  be  a bold  and  perhaps 
unwarranted  statement  to  declare  that  the  understanding  of  man  was  evolved  for  the 
sole  purpose  of  deception  and  enabling  deception  but  in  any  event  it  is  that — for  in 
understanding  by  belief  man  must  deceive  himself  whereupon  it  follows  that  it  is  an 
utter  impossibility  for  him  to  engage  in  any  other  attempt.  For  this  reason  all  his 
plans,  principles  and  attempts  consist  of  chance  or  gamble  and  his  theoretical  success, 
victory,  fame  and  glory  are  only  computable  by  and  from  the  extent  to  which  deception 
has  been  manipulated.  As  civilization  can  only  be  composed  of  men  and  as  the 
scheme  of  civilization  is  gamble  and  as  man  only  has  had  man  to  gamble  on  or  with  it 
follows  that  the  attainment  of  his  theoretical  successes  is  only  possible  at  the  expense 
of  mankind  for  it  is  only  man  who  can  supply  the  theoretical  victory  as  well  as  achieve 
it.  This  is  the  same  thing  that  composes  science  and  is  the  thing  for  which  man  so 
fervently  prays  for  deliverance  from.  For  by  this  science  or  understanding  of  belief 
by  belief  he  is  under  bondage  to  himself. 

Before  it  is  possible  for  man  to  engage  in  comprehension  it  is  imperative  that  he 
realize  that  he  is  imbecilic  and  why  it  has  been  impossible  for  him  to  gain  the  en- 
lightenment that  would  relieve  him  of  imbecility. 


— 17  — 


NOTE — If  man  deems  this  imputed  designation  unwarranted  or  unjust  all  that  he  has 
to  do  is  to  comprehensively  explain  just  one  thing  under  his  understanding  that 
he  does  understand.  This  and  this  alone  will  remove  the  stigma.  He  will  discover 
that  he  is  unable  to  explain  anything,  in  final  explanation,  as  other  than  an  in 
definable,  inexplainable  and  incomprehensible  “something”. 

You  can  stack  all  the  supposed  knowledge  of  the  world  in  the  vain  effort  to  com- 
prehensively explain  how  you  read  these  lines  or  how  the  other  senses  are  operated 
with  the  same  result. 

Now,  if  man  is  helplessly  unable  to  comprehend  how  he  became  conscious  why 
does  he  assume  to  understand  that  which  he  becomes  conscious  of? 

He  has  two  basic  theories  or  misconceptions  of  actuality  that  are  fundamentally 
responsible  for  all  his  other  beliefs.  The  first  is  his  idiotic  conclusion  that  he  can 
determine  material  by  designation,  i.  e.,  by  merely  calling  things  names — he  can  under- 
stand them.  Thus  he  designates  wood  as  wood — iron  as  iron — water  as  water — but  what 
are  they?  The  subsequent  explanation  that  they  are  composed  of  elements  is  no  more 
comprehensible.  Neither  is  the  atomic  theory  for  the  atom  has  never  yet  been  com- 
prehensively defined,  yet  we  have  reputed  authorities  on  the  atom.  The  second  mis- 
conception is  that  there  must  be  something  responsible  for  what  is  designatively  sensed 
and  as  it  is  invisible  and  insensible  it  could  only  be  theoretically  computed  or  in 
plain  words  it  could  only  be  guessed  at.  It  was  designated  as  “Natural  Forces”  just 
as  though  it  were  possible  for  anything  to  be  other  than — natural.  As  this  designation 
was  alike  incomprehensible  and  incomputable — science  rushed  to  the  rescue  and  defined 


— 18  — 


Force  as  a — Push  or  Pull.  Now  comprehension  enables  the  realization  that  the  Entire 
Universe  is  under  continuous  impellment  hence  if  there  were  such  a thing  as — Force 
it  could  only  be  — Push.  While  the  definement  is  apparently  harmless  it  is  not,  for,  it 
permits  the  belief  that  there  is  such  a thing  as  voluntary.  This  is  the  feature  re- 
sponsible for  the  misconception  man  has  of  himself — of  his  wonderful  ability  and 
what  is  possible  for  him  to  accomplish  and  renders  him  incapable  of  recognizing 
limitation.  Nature  being  composed  of  Motion  and  Movement  means  that  Motion  is 
insensible  and  as  man  has  been  under  the  limitation  of  evolving  his  understanding 
by  what  he  senses  he  fails  to  realize  that  the  inductions  of  movement  constitute  his 
limitation.  As  the  inductions  of  movement  are  only  possible  by  the  accentuation  of 
Motion  which  ever  and  always  are  followed  by  reaction  or  a modification  of  motion 
with  a consequent  modification  of  movement  which  man  erratically  and  misconceptively 
defines  as  exhaustion  and  figuratively  expresses  as  the  swinging  back  of  the  pendulum, 
the  result  always  is  the  opposite  of  the  intent  and  expectation*of  man  for  the  reason 
that  these  fluctuations  are  continuous  in  place  of  being  final.  Man’s  attempt  is  always 
to  get  everything  big — a thing  that  can  only  be  accomplished  by  organization.  But 
the  sternest  lesson  man  has  yet  to  learn  is  that  when  any  organization  assumes  the 
proportions  of  menace  to  the  lesser  organization — it  succumbs  to  the  lesser  quantity 
which  in  turn  increases  combination  until  it  assumes  the  counter  proportions  of  the 
organization  and  becomes  the  menace  it  previously  broke  up.  This  in  continuous 
performance  constitutes  the  feature  responsible  for  continuous  Motion  and  Move- 
ment— Life — or  all  there  is  to  actuality.  The  feature  of  this  is  that  man  in  his  non- 
sensical attempt  to  apply  theory  to  actuality  is  only  accentuating  the  direct  impellment 


— 19 


of  the  Whole  and  while  it  is  assisting  Nature  it  is  the  assist  opposed  to  endeavors 
of  men.  The  sub-conscious  recognition  of  this  is  expressed  in  the  statement  that — 
“Man  proposes  but  God  disposes.” 

According  to  man’s  own  assertion — he  loves  problems  and  he  loves  them  so  well 
that  in  theoretically  solving  one  he  merely  raises  another  hence  he  has  never  had 
anything  else  but  problems.  These  solutions  consist  of  explaining  the  discernably 
easy  parts,  advancing  probabilities  for  insensible  and  unknown  cause  and  leaving  the 
“hard  part”  for  posterity  to  determine.  The  scientific  definement  of — Force — as  pull 
provides  an  excellent  problem  or  puzzle,  which  is  to  locate  when  and  where  Nature 
ever  employed  such  a thing  and  where  it  is  possible  for  man  to  apply  such  a thing. 
If  you  are  unable  to  do  this  the  reputed — Force  of  Gravity — is  wrecked  for  it  is  spe- 
cifically and  scientifically  defined  as  a force  which  draws  or  pulls  all  things  to  the 
centre  of  the  earth.  It  follows  that  if  there  is  no  such  thing  as  a pull  there  cannot  be 
such  a thing  as  the — Force  of  Gravity  and  as  this  is  a carefully  calculated  and  authorita- 
tively approved  scientific  conclusion  upon  which  many  other  conclusions  are  based  it  can 
be  realized  what  flimsy  foundations  man  employs  to  base  his  science  on. 

SOLUTION 

Computation — 

As  man  is  utterly  unable  to  determine  material  and  as — Force — as  he  conceptively 
or  theoretically  conceives  it  does  not  exist  and  as  the  assumptive  conclusions  relative 
to  what  is  thus  sensed  and  erratically  conceived  constitute  in  full  man’s  understanding, 
it  can  readily  be  realized  why  he  has  no  understanding  other  than  an  agreed  under- 


— 20  — 


standing  of  and  by  belief  and  why  on  his  system  of  computation  understanding  is 
impossible.  The  fact  that  all  men  have  always  fooled  themselves  does  not  necessarily 
imply  that  all  men  are  fools  as  the  continuously  impelled  efforts  at  determination 
evidence. 

Once  the  wedge  of  comprehension  is  driven  between  actuality  and  theory  there 
are  men  who  will  reduce  our  understanding  by  belief  to  history  and  man  will  come 
into  the  enlightenment  he  is  fully  competent  to  attain  and  enjoy. 

This  comprehension  can  only  be  had  by  realizing  that  it  only  by  computing  ac- 
tuality or  the  principle  whereby  the’  continuous  transmutations  or  changes  of  the 
diversified  forms  of  formations  are  continuously  impelled.  It  must  be  realized  that 
it  is  just  as  much  of  an  impossibility  for  man  to  invent  principle  as  it  is  to  invent 
material  and  for  this  reason  he  must  compute  it  as  it  is  and  not  as  he  believes  it 
is.  The  Bible,  man’s  chief  authority  for  his  conclusional  understanding,  is  miscon- 
ceptive  of  actuality  and  therefore  misleading.  Its  very  first  words — “In  the  begin- 
ning— ” impose  theory  for  the  reason  that,  in  so  far  as  the  understanding  of  man  is 
concerned  there  is  no  such  thing  as  a beginning.  This,  of  itself,  is  full  exposition  of  the 
fact  that  man  has  ever  attempted  to  evolve  understanding  by  and  from  what  is  sensed. 

The  quantity,  loosely  defined  as  Nature,  is  100%  material  and  is  100%  mechanical 
hence  it  is  as  hopelessly  dependent  on  material  for  manifestations  or  occurrences  as 
man  has  been  on  the  sense  for  consciousness. 

NOTE — There  is  neither  intent  nor  delight  in  disrupting  the  revered  beliefs  of  man 

but  no  sane  excuse  can  be  interposed  to  allow  them  to  stand  in  the  way  of  or  block 


— 21  — 


comprehension.  The  world  ever  had  and  still  has  its  materialists  and  its  immater- 
ialists.  These  two  beliefs  are  the  fundamentals  of  all  other  consequent  beliefs  and 
as  they  are  all  man  has  ever  had  and  as  it  has,  in  the  absence  of  comprehension, 
been  impossible  to  get  beyond  or  away  from  the  conclusion  or  mere  belief,  man  has 
been  under  the  necessity  of  accepting  one  or  the  other,  hence  the  rejection  of  either 
was  only  the  acceptance  of  the  other  belief  as  understanding.  Man  has  ever  had 
the  obdurate  habit  of  concluding  from  these  two  conceptions  of  actuality  and  theory 
or  material  and  force  that  actuality  was  dominated  by  something  not  actual.  This 
presents  the  disagreeable  feature  of  Pure  Science  for  the  inculcated  belief  of  the 
world  is  held  in  the  attempt  to  separate  Nature  from  itself.  As  Pure  Science  dis- 
sipates this  belief  the  immediate  howl  is  that  the  man  is  an  atheist.  Deity  as  has 
been  and  still  is  conceived  is  strictly  theoretical,  i.  e.,  it  is  absolutely  incompre- 
hensible and  therefore  impossible  of  understanding  but  while  this  is  true  there  is 
no  call  for  misconception.  In  reality  what  is  sensibly  realized  as  Deity  is  bound  up 
in  atomic  material — is  indestructible  and  therefore  immortal  as  material  only.  It 
is  in  computing  form  only  that  man  becomes  hopelessly  bewildered — flounders  in 
seemingly  inextricable  belief  and  renders  him  hostile  to  anything  other  than  belief. 
As  far  as  man  is  concerned  there  never  was  a beginning  and  there  never  will  be  an 
end  to  Nature  and  as  he  can  neither  produce  nor  destroy  material  he  never  will 
be  able  to  determine  it.  For  this  reason  it  is  idle,  useless  and  disastrous  to  attempt 
it  for  it  does  not  concern  man  in  the  least.  This  is  comprehensively  apparent  as 
the  features  of  the  solution  become  familiar. 


— 22  — 


SYNECDOCHE 


As  it  is  principle  alone  that  man  may  compute  and  understand  it  follows  that  he 
must  compute  it  in  entirety.  This  is  contradistinctive  to  our  present  system  and  while 
it  is  true  that  parts  compose  the  whole  it  is  not  possible  for  what  are  described  as 
sub-principles  to  compose  or  complete  the  one  only  principle  of  the  Universe.  This 
word — Synecdoche — is  here  defined  to  mean  that  the  Universe  is  the  Whole — that  it  is 
one  quantity  of  atomic  material  by  and  from  which  all  formations  are  produced. 
This  being  comprehensively  true  it  follows  that  no  part  can  ever  be  other  than  a part 
of  the  Whole;  but  each  and  all  parts  of  the  Whole  embody  the  principle  of  the  Whole 
as  a Whole. 

The  Principle  Of  The  Whole 

Can  be  comprehended  as  Motion  (here  defined  as  chemical  action)  and  Movement 
(here  defined  as  circulation)  with  volume  pressure  as  continuous  impellment.  The 
further  comprehension  is  that  it  is  only  material  than  can  compose  motion,  evidence 
movement  and  furnish  impellment.  In  atomic  or  invisible  form  this  is  all  there  is 
to  the  Universe  or  the  WTiole. 

Understanding 

Since  motion,  movement  and  impellment  (material)  is  all  there  is  to  the  Universe 
or  Whole,  as  far  as  man  is  actually  concerned,  and  since  man  is  utterly  unable  to 
determine  material — it  follows  that  understanding  can  only  consist  of  comprehending 
the  one  principle  of  transmutation  or  change  of  form  which,  by  the  constant  pressure 
of  volume  quantity  as  impellment,  is  rendered  continuous. 


— 23  — 


There  is  no  specific  form  of  literal  design  by  the  whole  for  the  inception  of  for- 
mation is  always  simple  combination  the  complexity  of  which  is  only  possible  by 
further  combination.  It  is  from  the  inception  of  formation  that  comprehensive  com- 
putation is  possible  and  what  is  sensible  is  only  evidence  of  actual  comprehension  which 
would  be  described  by  our  designation  as — Truth.  Because  of  the  fact  that  our  com- 
putation has  been  based  on  result  or  that  which  man  sensed  and  which  was — 'Move- 
ment— it  follows  that  he  will  be  much  confused  by  having  to  compute  Motion  and 
Movement  under  continuous  impellment  as  material,  or  one  and  the  same  thing,  for 
they  are  absolutely  inseparable. 

Understanding  is  not  the  complicated,  indeterminal,  never-ending  thing  that  it  is 
popularly  supposed  to  be.  There  is  but  one  understanding  possible  and  that  is  the 
comprehension  of  the  principle  of  the  Whole. 

This  is  in  continuous  repetition  and  as  one  repetition  is  the  duplication  of  the 
former  it  cannot  be  other  than  the  same  thing.  The  solution,  therefore,  is  not  a new 
understanding  for  the  reason  we  never  ever  had  an  old  one  but  it  completes  the  circle 
of  repetition.  There  is  nothing  new  and  the  man  of  today  senses  the  same  occurrences 
that  all  his  ancestors  did  and  failed  to  comprehend,  hence  he  could  not  understand  what 
he  sensed  or  what  is  insensible.  He  has  simply  relied  on  his  eyes  stating  that  he 
could  believe  what  he  saw  but  he  has  merely  fooled  himself  by  and  in  his  conclusional 
beliefs  along  with  those  who  believed  what  he  believed.  All  his  conclusions  are  on 
a par  with  the  conclusion  that  “Large  bodies  move  slowly.” 


— 24  — 


And  then  he  repudiates  this  by  conflictingly  or  contradictingly  stating  that  the 
planets  move  with  such  terrific  velocities  that  they  exceed  in  movement  all  other  for- 
mations and  he  shows  that  the  larger  they  become  the  faster  the  movement.  In  the 
same  manner  the  learned  judge  informs  that  “ignorance  of  the  law  excuses  no  one” 
but  it  frequently  occurs  that  it  requires  several  years  for  him  to  find  it  and  when  he 
is  unable  to  find  it  his  conclusion  takes  the  place  of  what  did  not  exist.  This  is  an 
instance  where  the  crime  produces  the  law  and  there  are  instances  of  where  the  law 
produces  the  crime. 

The  Whole 

Is  composed  of  two  volumes  of  atomic  material  each  holding  the  opposed  quality 
of  Movement  requisite  to  compose  Motion.  Impellment  or  that  misconceptively  sensed 
as  Cause  or  Force  is  the  volume  pressure  of  the  whole. 

As  the  Whole  is  composed  of  what  is  now  described  or  designated  as  Nitrogen  and 
Oxygen  and  further  described  as  air,  ether  or  gas  and  as  these  two  materials  in  varied 
combinations  compose  all  there  is — in  computing  the  Whole  it  becomes  necessary  to 
designate  each  quantity  distinctively  so  that  the  preponderant  proportion  as  well  as 
the  lesser  proportion  may  be  recognized  in  any  and  all  formations.  For  this  purpose 
the  Nitrogen  or  active  volume  of  the  Whole  is  here  defined  as  the — Acid — volume  of 
the  atomic  material  quantity  or  Whole,  while  the  Oxygen  is  here  defined  as  the — Alkali — 
volume  of  the  atomic  material  quantity  or  Whole — the  former  active  or  penetrative  under 
constant  pressure  and  the  other  formative  and  resistant  to  penetration.  From  and  by 
these  two  volumes  of  atomic  materials  under  constant  pressure  there  are  but  two  occur- 
rences possible,  viz.,  the  forming  of  further  formations  and  atomization  or  the  breaking 

— 25  — 


up  and  diffusing  of  formation.  These  occurrences  correspond  as  result  to  Union  and 
Collision  or  Combination  and  Mixture.  Now  Motion  is  only  possible  at  the  expense  of  the 
resistance  of  the  form  of  formation,  meaning  that  as  Motion  is  continuous  it  can  only  be 
rendered  so  by  the  loss  of  form  or  the  losing  of  combination,  hence  the  requisite  is 
that  formation  must  be  as  constantly  formed  as  it  is  broken  up.  For  this  reason  the 
process  is  and  must  be  dually  simultaneous,  i.  e.,  Motion  must  support  Movement  and 
Movement  must  support  Motion,  continuously.  As  each  part  of  the  Whole  embodies 
the  principle  of  the  Whole  As  A Whole  each  and  all  formations  compose  this  process 
or  principle.  Medical  science  in  a way  recognized  this  better  than  any  of  the  other 
sciences  and  designate  the  process  as — Metabolism — meaning  th'at  both  occurrences  of 
formation  and  atomization  are  continuously  present.  Undue  speculation  is  rife  over 
the  demonstrations  of — Radium — and  unwarranted  and  impossible  prophecies  are  made 
relative  to  the  tremendous  “Forces”  stored  up  in  the  atom  but  the  fact  is  that  Lim- 
burger  cheese,  the  Polecat  and  many  more  formations  exhibit  the  same  feature,  but 
as  the  same  occurrence  is  differently  sensed  they  do  not  receive  even  “honorable 
mention.”  While  there  are  two  occurrences  possible  by,  from  and  of  the  whole  and  as 
there  is  but  one  quantity  of  atomic  material  and  one  impellment  it  follows  that  both 
occurrences  must  be  produced  from,  of  and  by  the  same  material  and  the  one  im- 
pellment, hence  there  can  be  but  one  formula  which  is — The  Confinement,  Compression 
and  some  form  of  release  of  the  atomic  materials  so  confined  and  compressed.  Ap- 
parently as  the  occurrences  are  opposed  the  formula  would  be  reversed  but  in  place 
of  this  it  is  the  proportions  of  the  atomic  materials  that  are  reversed. 

The  confinement  of  atomic  materials  always  constitutes  a dead-centre  whereby 


— 26  — 


the  Movement  of  the  atomic  material  quantity  is  modified  and  Motion  accentuated  for 
the  occurrence — Union.  In  the  opposed  occurrence — Atomization — this  is  reversed  and 
it  is  Motion  that  is  modified  while  Movement  is  accentuated.  It  must  be  clearly 
comprehended  that  the  opposed  occurrences  are  produced  by  themselves  by  shifting 
the  preponderance  of  proportions  of  the  Acid  and  Alkali.  In  order  to  clearly  explain 
this  it  becomes  necessary  to — 

Define  The  Atom 

As  the  particle  of  Alkali  entirely  out  of  formation  or  combination.  As  long  as 
the  particles  of  Alkali  are  in  combination  or  formation  it  constitutes  a dead-centre 
because  it  resists  penetration  and  as  long  as  resistance  or  penetration  is  possible — 
Atomization  or  Motion  is  breaking  up  formation  and  reducing  the  formation  or  com- 
bination to — Atoms.  When  the  atom  is  out  of  formation  or  combination  it  no  longer 
offers  sufficient  body  for  penetration,  hence  no  resistance  and  the  limit  of  preponderant 
proportion  is  established  and  reaction  begins.  It  is  at  this  instant  that  the  apparent 
reverse  of  the  formula  occurs  or  the  transmutation  of  destruction  to  construction  is 
actual  for  if  the  Acid  material  cannot  penetrate  it  will  envelope.  It  will  thus  be 
comprehended  that  the  Alkali  combination  in  the  one  instance  composes  the  dead- 
centre  by  resistance  and  in  the  other  by  non-resistance.  Comprehensively  the  actual 
inception  of  formation  never  occurs  at  or  near  the  globe  because  of  the  fact  that  the 
atomic  materials  composing  and  surrounding  the  globe  are  of  Alkali  preponderance, 
therefore  of  combination  but  as  the  principle  of  the  Whole  is  embodied  in  combination 
the  inception  of  combination  may  be  comprehensively  and  accurately  computed.  The 
true  concept  of  the  Whole  is  that  it  is  a dead-centre  composed  of  dead-centres  and 


— 27  — 


therefore  supported  by  dead-centres.  Motion  and  Movement  might  be  described  as 
Union  and  Collision  but  while  collision  is  continuously  imperatively  necessary  for 
Union  it  does  not  follow  that  union  always  occurs  and  the  fact  is  evidenced  by  and  as 
atomization. 

NOTE — The  foregoing  is  described  by  the  language  of  theory  which  must  be  ultimately 
changed  if  true  or  actual  expression  is  afforded  or  conveyed.  This  is  not  now  pos- 
sible hence  it  must  be  realized  that  an  actual  preponderance  of  the  atomic  material 
quantity  is  a literal  impossibility  for  the  actual  proportions  are  set  and  fixed  with 
the  Acid  in  huge  preponderance.  For  this  reason  the  literal  meaning  of  preponder- 
ance means  a modification  of  preponderance  only.  This  feature  is  also  present  in 
describing  the  Acid  volume  of  material  as  atomic  for  the  reduction  of  the  Acid 
material  to  the  actual  atom  exceeds  comprehension.  This  presents  the  utter  in- 
ability of  man  to  determine  material  and  renders  his  standing  inquiry  of  “What 
is  this  or  that  formation”  or  “what  is  it?” — inexplainable  and  unanswerable,  there- 
fore the  attempt  is  both  nonsensical  and  futile  for  the  ultimate  explanation  can 
never  be  other  than — “It  is  something”  which  does  not  mean  anything.  As  there 
are  but  two  occurrences  with  one  only  possible  by  the  other,  all  must  be  computed 
as  occurrence  but  as  has  been  stated  there  must  be  a distinct  comprehension  be- 
tween an  occurrence  by  Union  and  one  of  Collision.  The  several  repetitions  of 
description  noted  in  the  solution  are  to  merely  emphasize  the  salient  points.

THE  BALANCE  OR  EQUILIBRIUM  OF  THE  UNIVERSE 

Is  the  resistance  of  the  fibre  of  formation  offers  to  the  penetrative  pressure  of  the 
Whole.  It  is  broken  both  above  and  below  formation  tension.  The  Universe  or  Whole 
is  composed  of  liquid,  and  not  of  liquids,  solids  and  gasses  which  was  the  ancient 
conclusion.  It  is  by  such  proportions  being  set  and  maintained  that  Motion  and  Move- 
ment are  rendered  continuous  and  sensible  formations  temporarily  formed. 

THE  TWO  MOVEMENTS  OF  THE  GLOBE 

There  is  much  conjecture  as  to  how  the  globe  gets  through  what  is  generally 
defined  as  space.  Two  beliefs  are  extant— the  one  that  it  rushes  through  the  ether  and 
the  other  that  it  carries  the  ether  with  it  or  to  more  clearly  express  it,  the  belief  is 
that  the  globe  carries  its  air  with  its  movement  and  as  space  is  conceived  to  be  an 
inter-stellar  vacuum  there  is  no  resistance  to  such  movement  of  the  globe  and  its  air. 
This  is  grand  exposition  of  the  theme  of  man’s  attempt  at  computation  by  and  from 
movement  alone  for  computation  is  impossible  as  actuality  until  man  comprehends 
what  is  responsible  for  and  how  movement  is  produced.  As  Motion  and  Movement  are 
inseparable,  i.  e.,  one  produces  the  other  in  which  movement — or  that  which  we  sense 
— is  only  evidence  of  motion,  the  comprehensive  fact  is  that  it  is  the  Motion  (Atomiza- 
tion) of  the  atomic  material  quantity  that  produce  the  movements  (currents)  of  that 
quantity  and  that  it  is  these  movements  or  currents  that  turn  the  globe  in  axial  move- 
ment and  that  the  velocity  of  this  movement  is  responsible  for  the  orbital  movement. 
The  second  movement  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  reverse  currents  of  the  whole,  being 


— 29  — 


of  different  tensions,  throw  the  globe  off  an  actual  dead-centre  much  as  a billiard- 
ball  is  Englished.  The  ellipse  of  the  orbit  evidences  the  two  preponderances  of  atomic 
material  proportions  and  represent  the  limit  to  which  both  atomization  and  formation 
may  go  and  be  reversed  so  that  both  are  continuous.  Unless  this  were  so  formation 
would  accumulate  and  movement  would  ultimately  be  stilled  or  if  formation  was  not 
produced  as  rapidly  as  it  is  reduced — ultimately  there  would  only  be  liquid  and  no 
sensible  solid.  The  ellipse  shows  that  twice  a year  movement  is  accentuated  and  that 
twice  a year  it  is  modified  which  fact  evidences  the  reverse  of  the  accentuation  and 
modification  of  motion.  In  turn  this  only  evidences  the  extreme  limitations  of  the 
proportionated  preponderance  of  the  atomic  material  quantity  — the  preponderance 
being  expressed  as  Alkali-Acid  and  the  reverse  as  Acid-Alkali.  This  is  to  say  that  when 
the  Alkali-Acid  is  in  proportionate  preponderance — motion  is  accentuated  by  resistant 
formation  and  movement  is  correspondingly  accentuated  and  vice  versa  with  both 
extremes  meaning  exhaustion  as  we  would  express  it.  If  such  a thing  as  actual  ex- 
haustion were  possible  continuous  motion  and  movement  would  be  impossible.  Actual 
exhaustion  or  the  utter  depletion  of  form  is  rendered  impossible  by  the  fact  that  when 
either  proportionate  preponderance  assumes  menacing  proportions  and  threatens  to 
annihilate  the  lesser  proportionate  quantity  it  succumbs  to  the  lesser  quantity  until 
the  lesser  quantity  in  turn  assumes  the  aspect  of  menace  whereupon  it  succumbs  in 
proportion  to  the  quantity  which  previously  constituted  the  menace.  This  is  what  is 
described  as  the  swinging  back  of  the  pendulum  which  virtually  means  the  recognition 
of  the  results  attending  the  shift  or  reverse  of  atomic  material  proportions.  It  must 
be  realized  that  as  Motion  and  Movement  are  under  constant  impeliment  both  forma- 


— 30  — 


tion  and  atomization  are  continuous  and  that  the  extremes  only  represent  a modifica- 
tion of  one  or  the  other  in  continuous  repetition.  This  is  rendered  possible  by  the 
fact,  well  known  by  Physicists,  that  water  shows  expansion  at  both  extremes  of  pro- 
portion, i.  e.,  the  boiling  point  and  at  4°C.  The  designations — expansion  and  contrac- 
tion— only  mean  and  evidence  the  response  of  visible  formation  to  the  then  present 
proportions  of  the  Whole. 

THE  IDEA  OF  SEPARATION 

Is  all  wrong  for  formation  is  only  sensible  by  combination  hence  if  it  were  possible 
for  man  to  make  an  actual  separation  he  would  not  have  anything  sensible  nor  could 
he  hold  it  by  any  manner  of  means  for  as  Motion  and  Movement  are  continuous  and 
as  they  produce  sensible  formations  which  are  in  continuous  response  as  evidenced 
by  continuous  expansion  and  contraction  it  is  an  utter  impossibility  for  there  to  be 
such  a thing  as  an  absolutely  non-porous  formation,  hence  all  formations  are  literal 
sieves  which  strain  atomic  material  combinations  under  impellment  or  pressure.  Chem- 
ists frequently  speak  of  driving  off  the  water  but  the  fact  is  that  this  is  merely  ac- 
centuating the  pressure  of  the  opposed  material  proportion.  Thus  in  melting  metals 
the  Alkali  is  accentuated  in  proportion  and  the  imperative  and  undeniable  result  is  that 
atomic  material  proportion  be  maintained  by  the  Whole,  hence  the  Acid  material  is 
pushed  into  equilibrium  proportion  with  the  result  of  liquidation.  Dry  farming  is  evi- 
dence of  the  impossibilty  of  this  feature  as  is  the  impossibiilty  to  secure  a vacuum.  From 
this  it  may  be  comprehended  that  in  the  getting  of  a preponderant  proportion  the  opposed 
tension  is  raised.  This  is  all  that  is  possible  for  man  to  perform  and  only  amounts  to  the 
induction  of  movement  by  shifting  the  varied  sensible  formations  into  collisions  that 

— 31  — 


respond  to  atomic  material  combination  by  impellment.  Because  he  neither  recog- 
nizes or  comprehends  this,  every  thing  with  him  is  experiment  and  his  efforts  really 
consist  of  changing  or  disturbing  formation  proportion  which  is  maintained  by  the  Acid 
material  as  evidenced  by  liquifaction  in  one  instance  and  by  solidity  in  the  other. 
This  same  feature  is  present  in  man’s  attempt  to  determine  whether  or  not  a visible 
formation  increased  its  Weight  with  expansion.  As  this  is  collision  in  which  union 
did  not  occur  there  is,  of  course,  no  addition  to  the  combination  and  it  is  merely 
accentuation  of  tension  hence  the  futility  of  the  experiment  for  determination,  for 
without  union  there  could  not  be  an  increase  of  weight.  Had  this  experiment  been 
conducted  with  wTood  and  water  there  would  be  an  increase  of  weight  by  collision  in 
which  union  did  not  occur  but  man  concludes  he  knows  this  hence  it  is  not  deemed 
mysterious.  It  is  in  this  manner  that  the  atomic  materials  penetrate  the  supposedly 
hermetically  sealed  glass  tube  of  the  theremometer  and  by  collision  increase  the  bulk 
of  the  mercury  but  in  place  of  the  instrument  registering  temperature  it  is  evidencing 
the  then  present  atomic  material  proportions  or  the  rapidity  of  motion.  The  barom- 
eter is  doing  exactly  the  same  thing  and  thereby  illustrates  that  it  is  the  shift  of 
atomic  material  proportions  that  accentuate  or  modify  tension  or  the  rapidity  of  motion. 
It  must  be  comprehended  that  the  designations — motion  and  movement  always  imply — * 
material  and  that  the  fluctuations  of  motion  evidence  a shift  of  the  formation  propor- 
tions of  the  whole — that  such  shift  is  only  possible  by  movement  and  that  movement 
is  only  possible  by  motion  and  that  the  inseparable  two  are  only  possible  by  the  con- 
tinuous impellment  of  volume  pressure.  The  inception  of  formation  is  always  in  some 
form  of  round — for  it  is  in  this  manner  only  that  the  existing  pressure  is  raised  to 

— 32  — 


formation  tension.  The  inception  of  formation  is  also  only  possible  by  a modification 
of  movement  while  actual  atomization  is  only  possible  by  the  accentuation  of  movement. 

While  the  actual  inception  of  formation  is  invisible  and  therefore  insensible  in 
some  instances  the  inception  of  atomic  combination  is  sensible.  If  a pot  of  water 
be  placed  on  a slow  fire,  the  bubbles  which  can  be  seen  at  the  bottom  of  the  pot 
can  be  comprehended  as  the  inception  of  atomic  combination  formation.  Fire  being 
the  release  of  the  atomic  combinations  held  in  formation  penetrate  through  the  metal 
and  the  thus  released  atomic  combinations  are  enveloped  by  the  Acid  material  com- 
binations. As  these  bubbles  complete  combination  they  are  pushed  to  the  surface  by 
the  denser  combinations  and  as  the  rapidity  of  these  formations  are  increased  move- 
ment is  established.  This  is  full  exposition  of  the  motion  and  movement  of  the  Whole 
or  the  atomic  material  quantity  and  as  it  is  full  exemplification  of  the  principle  of 
the  whole,  the  dual  process  of  formation  by  motion  at  the  expense  of  the  forms  of 
other  formations,  may  be  comprehended. 

THE  FORM  OF  FORMATION 

Is  determined  by  the  tension  of  pressure  which  is  regulated  by  the  particular 
combination  and  the  thereby  porosity  of  the  container  or  dead-centre.  This  is  evi- 
denced in  the  cast  of  a birth-mark  where  from  the  same  combination  of  materials  an 
entirely  different  formation  is  formed  by  the  accentuation  of  tension.  Grafting,  bud- 
ding, cross-breeding,  etc.,  also  evidence  this  feature. 

It  can  be  noted  that  the  same  four  formations  are  produced  under  water  which 
exemplifies  the  fact  that  it  is  material  and  pressure  of  material  that  produces  the 


— 33  — 


diversified  parts  of  the  whole.  This  also  shows  that  the  water  formation  is  only  the 
reverse  proportions  of  the  whole. 

It  is  hardly  possible  to  establish  comprehension  without  taking  up  the  chief  theo- 
retical designations  and  connecting  them  to — cause  or  the  whole  for  it  is  only  in  this 
manner  that  belief  can  be  dissipated. 

It  is  easily  sensed  how  the  two  beliefs  of  the  materialists  and  immaterials  were 
evolved  and  imposed:  For  the  materialists  only  sensed  union  or  rather  the  results 

of  union  while  the  immaterialists  only  sensed  collision  as  the  whole.  Both  beliefs 
are  really  sensed  by  deductions  of  movement  in  diversification  but  as  the  results  of 
collision  were  not  perceptibly  sensed  the  misconception  w'as  and  is  that  visability  or 
sensibility  was  produced,  dominated  and  controlled  by  something  immaterial.  And 
on  the  mere  challenge  to  disprove  this  theory  the  majority  of  mankind  accept  the 
belief  but  the  easily  comprehended  fact  is  that  it  is  only  two  or  more  formations  that 
can  compose  or  complete— collision — or  in  actuality  the  reverse  of  the  theory. 

LIFE 

As  sensed  is  merely  the  movement  of  atomic  material  held  as  concentrations  of 
atomic  material  in  defined  forms.  From  this  it  will  be  comprehended  that  in  reality 
there  is  no  such  actual  or  literal  thing  as  life  for  it  is  only  descriptive  explanation 
of  Motion  and  Movement  and  Impellment  by  volume  pressure.  For  the  same  reason 
there  are  no  such  actual  or  literal  things  as  death,  rest,  stationary  or  permanent,  etc. 
Man  has  neither  excuse  or  foundation  for  his  misconceptions  of  a future  existence  as  a 
form  or  soul.  The  only  rest  man  will  ever  secure  is  to  get  loose  from  his  beliefs  of 


— 34  — 


the  applying  of  theory  to  actuality.  Man  is  only  a concentration  of  atomic  materials 
the  same  as  all  other  formations  and  upon  losing  form  the  materials  composing  his 
formation  are  released  and  eventually  return  to  original  quantity,  hence  all  he  can 
either  gain  or  expect  is  a pleasurable  existence  while  in  form  and  this  he  would  have 
were  it  not  for  his  so-called  science.  Man  has  long  since  regarded  life  as  an  enigma 
impossible  of  solution  and  impossible  of  explanation  even  by  theory.  Sooner  or  later 
comprehension  will  penetrate  the  ivory  dome  of  man  and  he  will  realize  that  there 
!S  not  anything  other  than  Motion,  Movement  (material)  and  Impellment  and  that 
understanding  is  impossible  by  mere  designation  of  diversified  description  of  result 
or  what  he  senses.  Because  of  the  impossibility  of  solution  on  his  system  of  com-

— 35  — 


tions  is  the  mineral.  The  fourth  formation  or  the  third  production  of  the  two  visible 
formations  by  and  with  the  material  and  impellment  of  the  first  formation  or  whole 
is  the  vegetable.  The  fifth  formation  is  the  female  of  the  animal  formation  and  the 
sixth  formation  is  the  male  of  the  animal  formation.  They  are  the  third  somethings 
produced  by  the  union  of  the  mineral  and  vegetable  formations  with  and  by  the 
impellment  of  the  first  two  formations.  By  noting  the  formula  it  will  be  compre- 
hended that  it  would  be  an  utter  impossibility  for  the  male  formation  to  be  first  in 
form  or  the  female  either,  hence  the  Adam  story  could  not  be  other  than  a fable  by 
misconceptive  belief.  The  female  of  all  formations  merely  means  that  it  corresponds 
in  formation  or  combination  proportion  to  the  first  formation  and  the  male  to  the 
reverse  of  preponderating  proportion  or  the  second  formation. 


Di  rection  \ - 

Is  a most  confusing  proposition  on  man’s  present  system  of  determination  and 
when  free  of  the  maze  of  bewilderment  it  will  be  recognized  as  a mere  dabble  in 
visability  by  which  conclusional  or  fixed  computation  is  rendered  both  on  moving 
material  and  on  what  does  not  exist.  As  the  whole  is  composed  of  motion  and  move- 
ment it  is  only  by  the  repetitions  of  movement  that  direction  is  fixed,  hence  it  can 
never  be  other  than  temporary.  Man’s  tenure  of  form  is  exceedingly  brief  as  compared 
to  some  other  formations  as  the  average  is  only  slightly  over  12000  days  or  repetitions 
hence  it  is  folly  to  attempt  computation  of  what  always  existed  by  his  period  of 
visability. 


— 36 


There  are  no  such  things  as  up  and  down  or  high  and  low  or  close  and  far  save 
from  temporary  and  descriptive  standpoints,  which  while  conveniently  necessary,  is 
only  dabbling  with  visability  or  parts  of  the  whole  in  place  of  computing  the  whole. 
In  like  manner  man  fashions  his  signs  and  symbols  by  making  the  position  of  one  line 
support  the  relative  position  of  another  in  which  he  can  change  his  relative  position  to 
the  line  and  the  conclusion  remain  the  same.  Thus  he  describes  a perpendicular  or 
verticle  as  an  exact  upright  and  a horizontal  as  a line  at  right  angles  with  a per- 
pendicular. In  standing  a man  would  compose  a parallel  to  a perpendicular  but  should 
he  lie  down  he  would  compose  a parallel  to  a horizontal  and  though  he  had  transposed 
position  he  would  still  maintain  that  the ‘perpendicular  was  such.  It  is  in  this  manner 
that  man  evolves  foolish  conclusions  and  then  defines  them  as  natural  laws  for  while 
these  methods  serve  the  purpose  of  convenience  they  do  not  confer  the  comprehension 
of  actuality.  Thus  while  man  does  not  declaim  it  as  a law  he  nevertheless  recognizes 
it  as  a law  that  water  seeks  its  level  but  if  a man  at  sea-level  ran  a horizontal — the 
water  at  a point  midway  where  the  line  entered  the  water  and  emerged  would  be 
much  higher  but  from  the  centre  of  the  globe  there  would  be  no  difference.  In  like 
manner  man  asserts  that  the  equatorial  zone  is  higher  than  the  other  zones  and  then 
inquires  how  and  why  it  is  that  the  Mississippi  river  flows  up  hill,  but  from  the 
centre  of  the  globe  there  is  no  hill. 

Weight 

This  is  also  a confusing  proposition  to  comprehend  for  the  same  reason  hereto- 
fore mentioned.  It  is  merely  a comparison  of  densities  in  response  to  the  push  of  the 
atomic  material  pressure.  The  globe  itself  does  not  weigh  anything  for  the  pressure 

— 37  — 


being  concentrated  at  or  upon  a common  or  dead-centre  nullifies  itself.  It  is  com- 
puted that  this  atomic  material  pressure  upon  the  average  human  adult  is  something 
like  35000  lbs.  Were  this  pressure  applied  only  to  the  exterior  of  the  formation  it 
would  be  crushed  but  by  the  penetration  it  is  nullified  and  is  imperceptible.  At  this 
point  it  may  be  realized  that  the  theory  of  gravitation  is  shattered  for  man  is  and 
ever  will  be  unable  to  either  sense  or  comprehend  such  a thing  as  pull  and  as  the 
specific  explanation  of — Gravitation — is  a force  which  draws  (the  equivalent  of  pull 
or  voluntary)  all  things  toward  the  centre  of  the  earth  and  as  there  is  no  such  thing 
as  force  or  pull  it  is  readily  discernible  that  there  is  something  radically  wrong  with 
the  theory  and  that  we  all  must  go  to  school  again. 

Nature  or  the  Whole 

Is  not  the  perfect  quantity  it  is  popularly  computed  to  be  from  our  sensible  and 
insensible  or  theoretical  standpoints.  Our  computation  assumes  that  because  we  have 
been  unable  to  understand  that  which  is  sensible  it  can  only  be  understood  by  de- 
scriptive explanations  equally  impossible  of  understanding.  By  noting  the  formula 
it  will  be  sensed  that  movement  is  only  possible  in  the  manner  therein  indicated. 
This  applies  to  the  operating  of  the  sense  and  the  feature  described  as  satisfaction 
represents  the  release  by  which  tension  is  reduced  to  formation  or  what  would  be 
termed  normal  tension.  We  recognize  that  extremes  meet  which  in  understanding 
means  that  uncertainty  is  balanced  by  uncertainty.  This  is  sometimes  expressed  in 
the  words — “The  anticipation  is  better  than  the  realization”  which  reveals  that  the 
illusioned  or  tensioned  anticipation  was  not  balanced  by  the  experience,  hence  dis 
appointment.

While  man  has  ever  and  readily  enough  attributed  all  to  two  he  has  always 
misconceived  one  of  the  two  as  all-powerful  and  his  misunderstanding  or  lack  of  com- 
prehension was  and  is  the  impellment  for  his  conclusions  of  possibility  as  pitted 
against  impossibility.  The  meaning  of  this  is  that  he  concluded  that  the  one  thing 
designated  as  immaterial  or  Force  could  do  anything  and  for  that  reason  man  has 
always  barred  knowledge  with  fear.  "What  man  has  always  sensed  has  been  move- 
ment in  and  of  diversified  forms,  hence  diversified  descriptive  designation  and  the 
abortion  of  comprehension  has  been  and  is  the  attempt  to  understand  the  designation. 
This  means  that  his  attempt  has  always  been  to  understand  material  in  place  of 
movement  and  as  this  was  impossible  he  has  never  been  able  to  even  get  started 
in  understanding.  Thus  if  you  ask  the  Professor — “What  is  water?”  he  will  con- 
descendingly inform  you,  implying  that  he  pities  your  ignorance  that  it  is  H2  O.  He 
will  further  explain  that  the  H is  the  chemical  symbol  for  the  element  designated  as 
Hydrogen — that  O is  the  chemical  symbol  for  the  element  designated  as  Oxygen  and 
that  one  measure  of  oxygen  invariably  unites  with  exactly  two  measures  of  hydrogen 
to  produce  the  formation  designated  as  water.  If  you  should  venture  to  inquire  “What 
are  the  elements?”  you  are  declared  to  be  profane  or  crazy  for  wanting  to  know 
what  is  not  known  to — Science.  The  supposition  of  Science  is  that  the  elements  were 
co-existent  with  the  accepted  creation  of  the  globe.  The  feature  is  that  these  elements 
are  only  descriptive  designations  of  formations  that  are  sensible;  man’s  sole  effort 
is  restricted  to  movement  in  moving  these  elements  into  combination  so  that  they 
evidence  or  support  movement  in  the  one  instance  or  temporarily  resist  it  in  another. 
The  same  feature  is  present  in  the  Bible — for  man  was  in  form  before  the  Bible — 


— 39  — 


the  globe  was  in  form  before  man  and  the  Universe  or  Whole  was  in  form  before 
the  globe  and  as  the  globe  and  consequent  formations  were  formed  from,  of  and  by 
the  Whole  it  is  evident  that  man  cannot  possibly  date  his  comprehensive  understanding 
from  and  by  a fabled  description  of  a presumed  and  impossible — Creation. 

It  is  only  by  comprehending  Nature  or  the  Whole  as  one  quantity  of  atomic  or 
invisible  material  under  the  continuous  Impellment  of  and  by  volume  pressure  re- 
sulting in  continuous  Motion  and  Movement  or  Union  and  Collision  by  which  the 
two  occurrences  we  sense  as  construction  and  destruction,  that  understanding  may  be 
established  as  actuality.  There  are  no  such  things  as  Forces  and  specific  designs 
of  forms.  Force  is  Motion  and  Movement  by  and  of  itself.  Form  is  the  evolution  of 
Movement  in  the  manner  described  in  and  by  the — Formula.  It  might  be  described 
as  fate.  This  may  be  comprehended  by  realizing  that  marriage  is  not  union  but  a 
collision  resulting  in  union — that  the  collision  of  the  particular  formations  composing 
the  collision  was  a mere  matter  of  chance,  hence  while  the  third  formation  would  still 
have  held  the  same  relative  form  if  either  of  the  two  formations  had  completed  collision 
with  another  formation  the  third  formation  would  have  been  of  entirely  different 
combination.  This  dispels  all  idea  of  pre-ordination,  pre-destination  or  reincarnation. 
As  all  visible  formations  are  evolved  in  form  by,  from  and  of  the  two  first  formations 
and  as  the  designated  female  of  the  animal  formation  is  exemplification  of  the  pre- 
ponderant proportion  of  the  first  formation  and  as  the  male  of  the  animal  formation 
exemplifies  the  preponderant  proportion  of  the  second  formation  in  which  the  forma- 
tions evidence  the  reverse  proportions  of  the  atomic  materials,  computation  is  facil- 
itated by  this  realization.  The  sex  determination  only  evidences  that  the  formation 


— 40  — 


of  greater  preponderance  yields  to  the  lesser  for  it  is  in  this  manner  only  that  existing 
or  fixed  proportion  is  maintained,  i.  e.,  fixed  proportion  maintains  itself  in  such. 

On  his  theories  of  the  Whole  man  has  ever  and  is  still  striving  under  and  by 
his  theoretical  impellment  to  attain  perfection.  There  is  no  such  thing  for  Nature 
is  only  perfect  in  continuous  Motion  and  Movement  under  the  continuous  Impellment 
of  Volume  Pressure  of  the  Whole.  As  man  can  neither  produce  nor  disturb  this 
Motion,  Movement  and  Impellment  it  follows  that  he  can  neither  conquer  or  improve 
on  it,  hence  the  only  thing  possible  of  attainment  is  the  comprehension  of  the  manner- 
in  which — he — a part,  relates  to  the  Whole  or  defined  purpose.  Man  unconsciously 
exhibits  the  impellment  of  the  Whole  by  endeavoring  to  become  a Whole  and  because 
of  the  failure  of  this  attempt  it  has  been  recognized  and  stated  that  every  one  is  crazy. 
How  could  it  be  otherwise  when  man  in  his  wondrous  wisdom  transposes  actuality 
or  Motion,  Movement  and  Impellment  by  supposition  or  theory  into  millions  of  de- 
scriptive designations  which  do  not  exist  and  only  understands  them  by  believing 
that  they  do  exist?  This  means  that  as  long  as  man  does  not  recognize  Impellment 
as  cause  he  can  neither  comprehend  nor  apply  it  for  it  stands  as  uncertainty.  For 
this  reason  everything  with  man  is  a game  which  can  only  be  played  by  gamble, 
hence  can  only  be  theoretically  beaten  by  the  theoretical  designations  of  victory, 
succes  and  glory,  i.  e.,  man  can  only  beat  it  by  believing  he  beats  it.  The  meaning 
of  this  is  that  Motion  is  only  possible  by  temporary  resistance  to  movement.  If  the 
resistance  was  equal  or  superior  to  the  pressure  there  could  be  no  movement  and 
as  formation  is  the  superior  it  is  only  by  the  accentuation  of  pressure  that  it  is 
overcome.  This  is  only  possible  by  raising  tension  and  this  is  only  possible  by  shifting 


— 41  — 


the  proportions  of  the  atomic  materials  the  result  of  which  we  describe  as  expansion, 
but  if  this  was  stationary  there  would  be  no  motion,  hence  no  movement,  or  in  other 
words  there  would  be  no  response,  reaction  or  fluctuation  of  expansion  or  shift  of 
proportion.  Expansion  is  the  raising  of  tension,  the  evidence  and  response  of  which 
in  and  of  man  is  described  as  intoxication. 

It  will  therefore  be  comprehended  that  if  the  existing  pressure  is  not  accentuated 
man  does  not  respond  in  movement.  This  is  why  religion  is  a failure.  Every  one 

agrees  that  the  Golden  Rule  is  the  acme  of  perfection  in  so  far  as  man  is  concerned, 

hence  it  is  really  the  basis  of  religion  as  well  as  the  endeavor,  but  the  attainment 
.is  rendered  impossible  by  the  counter  impellment  of  the  imposed  necessities  of  the 
system  of  science,  hence  it  is  only  the  combinations  particularly  susceptible  or  duly 
responsive  to  the  impellment  of  fear  that  respond  to  religion,  but  even  they  are  unable 
to  put  the  Golden  Rule  into  application.  Man  is  scared  of  anything  that  moves  unless 
he  concludes  he  understands  the  so-called  motive  power  and  if  he  is  unable  to 

understand  it  but  can  shoot,  club,  stab  or  jail  it,  so  that  he  can  conclude  he  has 

stopped  or  controls  movement — why  he  is  scientific.  If  it  is  invisible  and  only  evi 
dences  movement  by  result — he  prays  for  it  to  stop  and  that  is  deemed  scientific, 
too,  because  man  does  it  and  what  other  than  man  can  be  scientific?  He  trains  the 
seal  to  perform  what  he  is  unable  to  perform.  Who  then  is  scientific — the  seal  or 
the  man?  As  no  one  got  killed,  no  one  got. robbed,  clubbed  or  crippled,  no  woman 
debauched  or  rescued,  no  hero  or  heroine  evovled  or  villian  developed,  no  uncle  died 
leaving  a fortune  to  be  dissipated,  and  no  one  decorated— the  existing  tension  has  not 
been  raised,  the  consequent  thrill  is  not  present  and  for  this  reason,  this,  is  dull 
reading.

Prismatic  Determination 


Only  illustrates  that  man  is  unable  to  understand  anything  by  sensing  it.  It  also 
serves  to  show  to  what  extent  he  can  delude  himself  by  understanding  it  anyhow  by 
guess  (theory).  He  confesses  he  is  unable  to  understand  what  light  is,  but  after 
looking  through  a three-cornered  piece  of  glass  he  forthwith  returns  the  information 
that  light  is'  composed  of  either  three  or  seven  colors  and  then  explains — color — as 
vibration.  The  feature  of  this,  as  in  all  other  conclusions,  is  that  after  extended  ex- 
planation he  is  just  where  he  started,  which  means  that  he  has  never  got  started 
in  understanding. 

The  real  or  actual  evidence  presented  by  the  prism  is  the  graduation  of  tension 
or  the  resistance,  the  several  thicknesses  of  formation,  offer  to  the  penetration  of  the 
atomic  material  quantity  or  the  Whole. 

Chemical  Action 

As  now  designated  is  a vague  term  and  is  mere  subterfuge  to  designate  the  sensible 
result  of  what  is  insensible  and  therefore  incomputable.  It  is  incorrect  for  it  covers 
in  explanation  or  description  both  occurrences  of  formation  and  atomization.  While 
these  occurrences  are  inseparable  they  are  nevertheless  opposed  in  appreciable  result 
for  one  is  Union,  while  the  other  is  Collision.  From  this  it  will  be  discerned  that 
one  designation  could  not  comprehensively  describe  both  occurrences.

The  Reputed  Fourth  Dimension 

Is  the  most  beautiful  illustration  of  man’s  imbecilic  search  for  a theoretical  or 
non-existent  thing  that  we  have.  It  also  illustrates  the  ease  with  which  belief  is 
imposed  on  a credulous  world  of  men  for  the  designation  is  used  with  the  same  assur- 
ance as  if  it  was  sensible. 

As  there  is  not  anything  but  formation  and  as  formation  is  only  possible  by  in- 
ception and  as  inception  is  only  possible  by  composing  a dead-centre  and  as  a formation 
dead-centre  is  only  possible  as  some  form  of  round  and  as  the  three  sensible  or  stated 
dimensions  fully  describe  the  bulk  of  all  formations  it  follows  that  what  man  really 
seeks  is  the  first  dimension  or  the  enablement  of  the  other  three  dimensions.  This 
is  and  can  never  be  other  than  the  sphere. 

Therapeutics 

As  there  are  but  two  occurrences  possible  it  follows  that  Medical  or  any  other 
science,  for  that  matter,  cannot  invent  any  others.  We  hold  the  same  misconception 
relative  to  disease  that  we  do  of  life,  fire,  wind,  love,  hate,  joy,  etc.,  or  any  other 
occurrence  of  or  by  collision.  The  Whole  being  a dead-centre  composed  of  dead- 
centres  means  that  there  is  not  anything  other  than  formation.  That  is  to  state 
that  the  whole  consists  of  simple  formation  or  combination  and  that  the  various  forms 
of  visible  formations  are  evolved  into  complex  formations  by  and  through  the  medium 
of  successive  dead-centres;  the  principle  of  which  is  Motion,  Movement  under  con- 
tinuous impellment  or  volume  pressure  which  means  the  continuous  repetitions  of  the 
formula.  The  Human  or  last  possible  complex  combination  of  this  evolution  of  atomic 


— 44  — 


materials  being  a duplication  of  the  Whole  as  well  as  the  complete  or  last  result 
of  atomic  combination  in  eVolution  comprehension  is  greatly  facilitated  by  computing 
this  formation.  The  blood  corresponds  to  the  atomic  material  quantity  or  the  Whole 
and  from  and  by  this  quantity  formation,  under  formation  tension  or  pressure,  all 
forms  of  the  formation  are  formed.  The  transmutation  of  the  blood  into  the  various 
form  is  only  possible  by  the  system  of  dead-centres  designated  as  glands.  These  dead- 
centres  are  of  varied  tensions  and  therefore  are  responsible  for  the  form  of  the  forma- 
tion they  produce.  This  is  again  evidence  that  tension  produces  the  form  of  forma- 
tion. It  must  be  realized  that  the  dual  process  designated  as  metabolism  is  simul- 
taneous, i.  e.,  the  process  of  formation  is  only  possible  by  or  at  the  expense  of  the 
form  of  formation,  hence  computation  must  embrace  both  occurrences  of  Union  and  Colli- 
sion for  neither  is  possible  without  the  other  nor  are  they  possible  without  the  volume 
pressure  of  the  Whole  as  well  as  the  formation  pressure  and  tension  in  response  to 
the  Whole.  It  must  also  be  realized  that  the  Whole  enters  into  and  becomes  an  actual 
part  of  the  formation.  Undoubtedly  the  belief  of  mankind  is  that  vegetation  grows 
out  of  or  is  formed  by  and  from  the  earth.  This  is  not  so  for  the  earth  is  merely 
the  container  which  confines  the  dead-centre  known  as  the  seed  but  the  formation 
is  produced  by  and  composed  of  the  atomic  material  commonly  designated  as  the  air. 
Fertilizers  merely  accentuate  and  evidence  the  response  of  atomic  combinations  to 
the  Whole  and  the  impellment  or  pressure  of  the  Whole. 

NOTE — Under  our  system  of  sciences  this  would  seem  a rather  awkward  place  to 
interject  this  statement  but  the  fact  is  that  all  formations  are  produced  or  formed 
in  the  same  manner,  hence  they  must  be  computed  alike. 


— 45  — 


As  there  are  but  two  occurrences  of  and  by  the  Whole  it  follows  that  there  cannot, 
be  such  things  as  different  diseases.  In  all  instances  the  so-called  diseases  are  either 
the  breaking  up  of  formation  or  the  forming  of  formation  below  formation  tension 
In  both  occurrences  the  tension  is  out  of  the  range  of  formation  tension.  Medical 
science  recognizes  this  in  a way  and  designates  the  combination  response  to  the  Whole 
as  auto-intoxication  when  the  tension  exceeds  the  formation  tension;  but  this  is  only 
one  occurrence — that  of  collision  or  the  breaking  up  of  formation  the  results  of  which 
are  designated  as  tuberculosis,  nephritis,  cancer,  blood-poison,  the  various  fevers, 
etc.  A contrastive  recognition  would  be  auto-formation  to  designate  the  forming  of  for- 
mation below  the  formation  tension  which  would  cover  such  specifications  as  designated 
by  leprosy,  arterio  sclerosis,  cirrhosis  of  the  liver,  diabetes,  asthma,  gall-stones,  etc. 
Of  course  neither  of  the  occurrences  evidenced  by  these  designations  is  auto — but  is  the 
response  of  the  combination  to  the  combination  impellment  of  the  Whole  In  like 
manner  these  specific  designations  while  in  evidence  as  sensible  results  of  what  is 
insensible  are  given  as  cause  of  death.  Medical  science  exhibits  the  same  defect  that 
is  present  in  all  the  attempts  of  man  in  that  the  conclusion  is  that  solution  consists 
of  fighting.  The  real  intent  in  the  administering  of  the  mixtures  designated  as  med- 
icines is  to  destroy  what  is  termed  as  adverse  germ  life  but  in  reality  all  that  can 
ever  be  done  is  to  shift  or  change  the  proportionate  combination  so  that  Motion  is 
either  accentuated  or  modified  or  the  tension  raised  or  lowered.

Contagion  and  Infection 

Are  both  collisions,  the  former  being  returned  by  the  Whole  and  the  latter  only 
by  the  collision  of  two  visible  formations.  It  is  a sensible  fact  that  contagion  is  only 
possible  by  the  occurrence  of  collision  resulting  ip.  atomization  which  would  mean 
that  the  atomic  combinations  released  by  corrosion  or  oxidization,  the  first  steps  of 
atomization  are  not  sufficiently  reduced  out  of  combination,  hence  by  further  collision 
they  set  up  a corrosive  tension.  It  must  also  be  realized  that  the  foregoing  covers 
the  two  occurrences  of  the  Whole  as  recognized  by  metabolism,  i.  e.,  in  which  Union 
and  Collision  or  Motion  and  Movement  are  simultaneously  concerned:  But  the  same 

objective,  that  of  death,  may  be  produced  by  collision  alone.  It  is  designated  as 
embolism,  apoplexy,  paralysis,  influenza,  etc.,  and  is  the  sudden  or  immediate  block- 
ing of  Movement  which  reduces  Motion  below  the  rapidity  requisite  to  maintain  for- 
mation tension. 

Tension 

May  be  comprehended  in  the  gut  violin  string.  When  drawn  taut  it  is  tension 
by  movement  and  as  such,  tension,  is  sensible,  but  when  the  proportions  of  the  atomic 
material  are  such  as  to  be  designated  as,  excessive  moisture,  the  tension  is  increased 
by  the  penetration  of  the  acid  material  in  preponderant  proportion  and  the  consequent 
expansion  breaks  the  string — or  particular  formation. 

Dead-Centre  and  Vibration 

May  also  be  comprehended  by  the  taut  string,  for  when  taut  it  composes  a dead- 
centre  (or  the  equivalent  of  fixed  atomic  material  proportion,  i.  e.,  as  there  is  not 


— 47  — 


anything  other  than  formation  and  under  volume  pressure  with  the  fibre  of  formation 
constituting  the  equilibrium  or  balance  of  combination,  just  so  much  of  the  acid  com- 
bination will  hold  in  envelopment  or  in  the  composing  of  a dead-centre).  The  moving 
of  the  string  any  way  from  this  tensioned  position  is  met  with  resistance  and  a con- 
sequent rebound  which  carries  the  string  past  the  dead-centre.  The  continuous  rep- 
etitions of  these  opposed  movements  until  the  dead-centre  is  recomposed,  constitute 
vibration. 

If  these  fluctuations  of  movement  can  be  comprehended  to  correspond  to  the  shift- 
ing of  atomic  material  proportions  by  pressure  or  impellment  with  the  shift  being 
rendered  possible  by  motion — atomization  or  chemical  action  will  be  understood. 

Sound  and  Sight 

It  has  been  authoritatively  stated  that  sight  travels  faster  than  sound.  This  is 
misconception  and  therefore  not  literally  true.  In  reality  there  is  vefy  little  traveling 
done  as  is  ordinarily  expressed  by  the  word.  It  must  be  realized  that  there  is  an 
actual  quantity  of  material  between  any  and  all  formations,  hence  there  is  always 
a defined  or  existent  tension  and  sensment  is  the  response  to  the  accentuations  or 
modifications  of  this  tension.  Sight  is  immediate,  because  the  sight  tension  is  im- 
mediately accentuated.  It  is  authoritatively  stated  that  it  requires  the  light  of  the 
sun  several  minutes  to  reach  the  earth.  If  this  were  true  we  would  have  to  pose  the 
same  interval  before  we  could  sight  the  sun,  but  it  is  verifiable  that  we  can  sight  it 
immediately.  Again  just  when  was  it  that  the  so-called  sunlight  was  ever  off  the 
earth  so  that  the  traveling  could  be  timed  and  if  it  could  not  be  sensed  until  it  (the 


— 48  — 


so-called  light  ray)  reached  the  earth,  how  could  it  be  sensed  when  it  started?  This 
shows  the  futility  of  attempting  computation  by  sensing  movement.  Sight  tension  is 
direct  movement  or  direct  accentuation.  Sound  tension  is  only  possible  by  three  dis 
tinct  movements  of  the  atomic  material  quantity  or  the  Whole  before  the  sound 
tension  is  accentuated.  Thus  if  a gun  is  fired  the  sight  tension  is  instantaneous  and 
the  response  is  immediate.  By  the  release  of  the  atomic  materials  held  in  confine- 
ment and  released  by  compression  the  pressure  of  the  release  was  greater  than  the 
existing  or  volume  pressure  with  the  result  that  the  atomic  material  quantity  or  Whole 
was  pushed  apart  from  all  angles  and  a dead-centre  established  until  the  thus  accent- 
uated pressure  met  an  elastic  balance  or  equal  resistance  with  a consequent  rebound  or 
push  to  regain  equilibrium  with  the  result  that  volume  pressure  was  directed  upon 
a dead  or  given  center  which  re-composed  an  opposed  dead-centre  of  pressure  hugely 
superior  to  the  original  and  it  is  this  or  the  second  rebound  that  composes  the  sound 
tension.  The  illustration  just  given  is  entirely  different  to  that  of  thunder  in  that 
the  one  is  quantity  movement  while  the  other  is  quantity  movement  through  quantity 
and  while  both  are  collisions  the  latter  is  followed  by  Motion  or  chemical  action. 

In  the  one  the  collision  was  produced  by  Movement  which  shows  the  impossibility 
of  one  without  the  other.  From  this  it  may  be  realized  that  Nature  or  the  Whole  is 
entirely  material  and  entirely  mechanical,  hence  neither  the  Whole  nor  any  part 
thereof  performs  otherwise. 

Electricity 

Exemplifies  both  occurrences  or  formation  and  atomization.  Frictional  electricity 
or  that  inducted  by  man  consists  of  confining,  compressing  and  releasing  the  atomic 

— 49  — 


materials  so  confined  and  compressed.  By  such  confining  and  compressing  the  exist- 
ing proportions  of  the  atomic  materials  are  pushed  out  of  normal  or  existing  proportion 
with  the  consequent  result  that  two  separate  formations  are  thus  formed,  the  one  above 
normal  tension  and  the  other  below  normal  tension.  In  collision  (contact)  the  one 
formation  ^atomizes  the  other — or  in  other  words  the  two  formations  being  pushed  out 
of  normal  proportion  by  pressure  merely  regain  normal  proportion  in  release.  This 
production  is  Motion  produced  by  Movement. 

In  Galvanic  or  Voltaic  electricity  it  is  the  atomization  of  formation  or  the  release 
of  the  atomic  materials  held  in  formation  and  is  Movement  produced  by  Motion.  This 
is  grand  exemplification  of  the  fact  that  Motion  and  consequent  Movement  are  only 
possible  at  the  expense  of  the  form  of  formation.  Both  are  sensible  in  and  as  occur- 
rences of  the  Whole  designated  as  lightning.  There  are  no  such  actual  things  as 
attraction  and  repulsion  for  they  signify  voluntary  movements.  They  with  the  desig- 
nation— affinity — merely  signify  the  attempt  of  two  formations  of  opposed  preponderant 
proportions  under  impellment,  to  regain  or  complete  normal  or  existing  proportions. 

You  Can  Wreck  the  Solution 

When  you  can  sense  anything  other  than  Movement  and  comprehend  anything 
other  than  Motion  and  Impellment  as  volume  pressure — when  you  can  comprehensively, 
i.  e.,  tangibly  prove  that  there  is  anything  other  than  atomic  material  as  composing 
Motion,  and  Impellment  and  evidencing  Movement  as  visability — when  you  can  show 
or  conceive  that  there  are  any  occurrences  other  than  those  of  Union  or  Collision  or 
formation  or  atomization — when  you  can  show  or  prove  that  either  occurrence  is  pos- 


— 50  — 


sible  in  any  other  manner  than  that  indicated  by  the  formula  or  where  you  can  induct 
either  occurrence  down  to  the  slightest  Movement  without  complying  in  full  with 
the  formula — when  you  can  show  where  there  is  such  a thing  as  voluntary  Movement — 
When  you  can  raise  an  inquiry,  other  than  the  determination  of  material,  that  cannot 
\>e  comprehensively  explained  and  tangibly  understood — when  you  can  produce  a man 
yho  can  understand  what  he  is  unable  to  comprehend,  i.  e.,  bring  forward  an  intel- 
ligent man — when  you  can  show  anything  that  is  other  than  continuous  repetitions 
of  the  formula — when  you  can  show  any  formation  that  is  permanent,  i.  e.,  cannot  be 
atomized — then  and  then  only  can  you  wreck  and  riddle  the  solution. 

ADAPTATION 

It  has  been  comprehensively  shown  and  is  veriflably  sensible  that  the  Whole  is 
composed  in  entirety  of  Motion,  Movement  and  Impellment  by  the  volume  pressure 
of  the  atomic  materials.  This  trinity  we  recognize  and  describe  as  chemical  action, 
circulation  and  pressure  and  it  is  further  comprehensible  that  it  is  only  material  that 
voiild  either  evidence  or  compose  the  trinity.  The  evidence  of  this  trinity  of  materials 
<md  pressure  by  volume  is  only  sensible  as  and  by  Movement.  The  presence  of 
jr'orpiauon  is  just  as  much  evidence  of  Movement  as  is  the  Movement  of  the  animal 
formation  and  as  Movement  is  all  that  is  sensible  it  follows  that  it  is  all  that  man 
cai|  perform,  hence  it  marks  his  limitation.  As  there  is  no  such  thing  as  voluntary 
movement  it  follows  that  man  or  any  other  formation  is  unable  to  move  hence  such 
Movement  is  but  the  induction  of  impellment  and  by  such  induction  one  formation 


51 


becomes  able  to  move  other  formations.  Work  and  play  are  both  applications  of  this 
inducted  impellment. 

Work  is  the  application  of  the  inducted  impellment  to  support  and  maintain 
Motion  so  that  Movement  is  possible  in  securing  what  we  describe  as  the  necessities 
requisite  to  support  movement  described  as  life.  We  describe  this  application  o.' 
induction  as  labor  which  designation  corresponds  to  our  conception  of  construction. 
As  man  is  limited  to  Movement  and  as  applied  Movement  is  labor  it  follows  that  it 
(labor)  is  all  that  can  be  exchanged  as  actuality.  To  facilitate  this  exchange  it 
became  necessary  to  evolve  a convenient  medium  of  exchange  as  a representative  of 
labor  in  exchange.  This  was  done  and  the  representative  of  labor  or  medium  of 
exchange  was  designated  as  money  and  to  this  point  all  was  actuality  for  such  ex- 
change meant  an  equal  exchange  of  labor  or  movement.  But  when  money  was  endowed 
by  theory  with  an  intrinsic  or  non-existent  value  it  ceased  to  be  the  representative 
of  labor,  the  relative  positions  were  transposed  and  man  the  organic  was  subordinated 
to  and  by  the  inorganic.  This  was  and  is  applying  theory  to  actuality  or  the  agreement 
to  apply  what  did  not  exist  save  by  belief.  This  is  to  state  that  it  is  comprehensively 
impossible  for  money  to  compose  Motion  hence  it  cannot  supply  Movement.  Man  has 
not  the  slightest  authority  for  the  theory  hence  he  merely  assumes  it  and  the  applica- 
tion constitutes  the  first  problem  of  civilization.  The  mere  designation  of  problem 
is  inadvertent  confession  of  the  failure  of  man’s  science  to  apply  theory  for  designed 
result  and  his  attempts  at  solution,  which  could  only  be  also  theory,  only  resulted 
in  raising  countless  other  problems  hence  he  is  and  ever  has  been  continuously 
beset  by  problems  which  ever  and  always  are  the  reactions  of  his  applied,  by  theory.

attempts.  Call  it  what  you  will,  business,  commerce,  trade  or  barter,  civilization  only 
consists  of  and  exists  as  the  exchange  of  movement  or  labor,  hence  it  is  all  that  is 
actual  for  man.  Under  the  existing  system  man  has  only  had  two  problems.  One  was 
\to  get  the  labor  of  another  without  an  equivalent  exchange  and  the  other  was  to  keep 
the  part  suffering  such  inequitable  exchange  quiet  and  peaceful.  This  is  called 
Profit  taking  and  the  nearer  the  exchange  became  profit  the  more  honor,  fame  and 
worship  the  manipulator  was  and  is  accorded.  We  abhor  the  anarchist  and  radical 
socialist  who  assumingly  declare  the  world  owes  them  a living.  The  actual  meaning 
oil  this  statement  is  the  belief  that  they  are  entitled  to  support  by  the  labor  of  others 
without  any  exchange.  While  we  condemn  him  we  laud  the  man  who  applies  the 
statement  without  the  proclamation  and  decorate  him  with  the  title  of  “Financial 
Wizard”. 

That  these  theories,  advanced  in  the  one  instance  and  applied  in  the  other,  collide 
with  actuality  is  evidenced  in  the  so-called  “Problem  of  Mechanics”  which  is  the 
recognized  failure  to  get  more  movement  out  of  a thing  than  is  expended  in  getting  it. 
Any  one  who  has  tried  to  get  a ninety  pound  air  pressure  in  an  automobile  tire  with 
a hand  pump  will  readily  agree  it  is  a failure  and  though  this  same  problem  is  all 
that  confronts  man  on  and  by  his  theories  he  cajoles  himself  into  the  belief  that  he 
is  an  optimist  and  is  thereby  impelled  to  attempt  to  beat  a game  which  cannot  be 
beaten  even  by  theory.  He  fails  but  concludes  that  he  can  win  by  organization  and 
when  it  is  recognized  that  it  too  fails  the  alibi  is  that  “History  repeats  itself.”  Strange 
that  man  will  not  only  willingly  but  gloriously  confess  he  is  thus  dominated  in  final 
and  inevitable  result  but  in  the  meantime  proclaim  that  he  is  conquering  Nature  or 
the  Whole — or  beating  the  game  with  fame  and  flowers.

THE  SOLUTION  AS  APPLIED  TO  MAN 


Means  that  as  Movement  is  the  one  only  possible  occupation  of  man  and  that  the 
induction  of  movement  is  only  possible  by  applied  movement  designated  as  labor  it 
— labor — is  the  one  only  thing  that  can  be  exchanged.  As  this  is  all  that  is  actual, 
in  so  far  as  man  is  concerned,  all  else  is  theory.  Exchange  should  be  held  to  the 
full  and  complete  exchange  of  labor,  money  or  the  representative  of  labor  should 
be  reduced  to  actuality  which  would  denude  it  of  intrinsic,  interest,  speculative  or 
non-existent  values.  Nothing  holds  an  actual  value  to  man  unless  it  composes 
Motion  and  thereby  enables  Movement.  This  would  impel  all  men  to  supply  as  much 
Movement  as  they  consumed  in  maintenance.  The  world  owes  no  man  a living  and  if 
he  does  not  supply  as  much  Movement  or  labor  to  civilization  as  he  consumes  some 
one  must  gratuitously  supply  it  whereupon  the  man  so  receiving  such  support  becomes 
a parasite  and  in  numbers  clog  or  modify  Movement. 


OWNERSHIP— 

Too,  is  theory  because  of  the  fact  that  the  part  belongs  to  the  Whole  in  place  of 
the  supposition  that  the  Whole  belongs  to  the  part.  It  is  comprehensively  impossible 
for  any  one  to  own  what  he  does  not  by  his  own  labor  evolve  in  form  and  as  man 
cannot  invent  material  he  holds  no  title  to  it  save  by  supposition  or  theory.  For 
this  reason  no  man  should  hold  more  material  than  he  could  use. 


— 54  — 


LAW 


The  Master-Slave  theory  on  which  civilization  is  conducted  rendered  it  neces- 
sary to  install  and  impose  a Law-Penalty  procedure  which  in  place  of  being  principle 
is  devoid  of  it.  The  failure  and  futility  of  the  attempt  can  be  noted  by  the  fact 
that  after  the  renowned  experts  of  the  world  phrase  a so-called  legal  enactment  it 
can  only  be  understood  by  interpretation  and  the  further  agreement  to  accept  it  as 
some  other  expert  may  dictate.  The  result  is  that  about  10%  of  the  population  is 
endeavoring  to  execute  or  imprison  the  other  90%.  It  is  positively  stated  that  if 
every  man  had  his  just  deserts  he  would  be  behind  the  bars  and  those  outside  believe 
they  are  cute  because  they  are  not  behind  them.  The  failure  of  Law  is  that  in  the 
effort  to  punish  humanity  for  supposed  infractions  of  theory  it  impels  the  very  thing 
it  seeks  to  eliminate.  Russia,  the  land  of  elaborate  and  refined  torture  should  enable 
mankind  to  realize  that  penalty  and  punishment  or  misery -is  futile  to  establish  civ 
ilization  and  that  man  can  never  get  what  he  wants  by  fighting  for  it  hence  any 
procedure  that  sets  up  the  fighting  tension  is  detrimental  to  the  peace  and  safety  of 
the  form  of  man. 

Man  has  neither  use  or  excuse  for  reputed  leaders  or  fabled  gods  for  they  typify 
and  therefore  represent  experiment  in  place  of  principle  and  experiment  is  only  pos- 
sible at  the  expense  of  form  corresponding  to  atomization  or  the  inevitable  conse- 
quence or  reaction  of  the  modification  of  movement. 


— 55  — 


THE  TRANSMUTATION 


Means  that  Business,  Commerce,  Trade,  Barter  or  the  exchange  of  Movement  as 
labor  must  be  conducted  on  the  convenience  of  man  in  place  of  his  inducted  misery 
designated  as  necessity.  The  drone  or  parasite  must  undergo  the  transformation  of 
inducting  as  much  movement  (labor)  as  he  consumes  or  lose  form. 

Riches  and  wealth  are  inordinate  theories  and  are  only  theoretically  possible  at 
the  expense  of  poverty  and  misery  which  eventually  nullify  the  theory.  There  is 
neither  use  or  excuse  for  either  iri  actuality. 

CHARITY  AND  PHILANTHROPY 

Are  likewise  theories  for  no  one  can  assist  another,  under  the  system  of  civilization, 
without  taking  it  from  another.  If  a bucket  of  water  is  taken  from  a river  the  existing 
impellment  fills  the  gap  or  movement  would  cease.  In  theoretical  civilization  these 
gaps  made  by  the  drone  or  parasite  must  be  filled  by  the  labor  of  others  else  civiliza- 
tion would  cease. 

The  present  condition  of  the  world  is  no  worse  than  it  has  ever  been  but  it  is 
apparently  so  because  -of  greater  numbers  involved.  It  is  a sensible  fact  that  the 
hordes  of  prairie-dogs  perish  because  of  over  population  by  destroying  the  forms  that 
support  them.  The  birth  rate  of  humanity  should  be  held  so  that  the  world  is  not 
over  populated  else  war  is  the  only  solution.  Man  is  theoretically  attempting  to  con- 
quer the  Whole  when  he  assists  in  keeping  in  form  the  hordes  of  useless  humanity 


— 56  — 


in  countries  like  China  which  is  out  of  proportion  quantity  and  must  ultimately  re- 
spond to  the  impellment  of  the  Whole  in  restoring  fixed  proportions.  There  is  really 
no  one  to  be  censured  for  either  present  or  past  conditions  for  the  only  understanding 
man  has  ever  held  has  been  that  of  belief.  There  is  no  excuse  in  so  continuing  for 
the  installing  of  actual  civilization  is  the  vital  concern  of  all  men  but  it  must  be 
realized  that  no  man  ever  was  competent  or  ever  will  be  competent  to  usurp  the 
impellment  of  the  Whole  and  become  other  than  a fabled  god.  There  is  not  anything 
to  escape  from  except  our  installed  theories  and  this  escape  only  consists  of  being 
relieved  of  dependence  on  the  accepted  and  applied  beliefs  of  the  fabled  super-man- 
fabled  because  he  does  not  exist  save  as  a theory. 

It  would  have  been  just  as  easy  to  apply  somewhere  near  the  same  labor  in  con- 
struction as  was  expended  in  destruction  in  the  late  war  and  what  a place  this  world 
would  be  but  the  parasites  would  have  been  denied  their  feast  and  the  world  would 
be  short  on  super-men,  heroes  and  glory. 

The  feature  is  that  man  can  only  secure  actuality  or  that  which  is  now  defined 
as  Utopian  by  agreement  and  not  by  fighting  for  it.  This  is  only  and  really  a trans- 
position of  present  agreement  in  which  mankind  agree  to  accept  the  Utopian  as  actuality 
and  designate  the  present  acceptance  of  actuality  as  Utopian.  There  is  no  scarcity 
of  anything  but  intelligence,  and  it  is  within  the  scope  of  possibility  that  it  may  be 
rendered  as  plentiful  as — Radium. 

COMPUTATION 

That  which  could  be  sensibly  described  as  the  curse  of  man,  consists  of  the 
idea  and  attempt  to  get  every  one  to  believe  theory.  The  misconception  is  that  when 

— 57  — 


this  is  accomplished  theory  can  be  transformed  into  actuality  but  the  fact  is  that 
while  it  remains — theory — the  existing  tension  is  accentuated  by  it  nevertheless  and 
man  is  the  recipient  of  that  for  which  he  prays  for  release  from.  This  exhibits  the 
fact  that  man  repairs  theory  which  is  continuously  breaking  down,  with  theory  hence 
the  ultimate  result  is  ever  the  same.  The  imbecility  of  the  system  is  evidenced  in 
the  fact  that  while  he  prays  for  deliverance  in  the  one  breath  he  returns  thanks 
for  the  very  thing  he  prays  for  deliverance  from. 

NOTE — The  appended  description  is  from  an  old  magazine  clipping  which,  unfor- 
tunately does  not  bear  the  imprint  of  either  author  or  publisher  hence  the  writer 
is  unable  to  accord  due  credit.  It  is  highly  expressive  of  the  above  feature,  in 
that  it  covers  all  of  the  theoretical  successes  possible  for  man  to  achieve. 

“For  what  are  you  going  to  give  thanks  on  the  last  Thursday  of  this  November? 
For  a fortune  you  have  inherited?  Then  you  will  be  a Shintoist,  not  a worshipper 
of  God,  but  of  your  ancestors. 

For  your  winnings  in  stock-gambling?  Then  you  have  not  advanced  far  from  the 
days  when  the  smoke  of  heathen  altars  rose  above  the  carnage  of  heathen  battlefields, 
from  the  days  when  conquering  Christians  sang  a Te  Deum  among  the  dead  of  their 
dying  Christian  enemies. 

For  the  success  you  have  achieved  by  your  own  brain  or  your  own  hand?  Then 
you  will  be  but  the  prototype  of  Caligula,  who  erected  a temple  to  his  own  “honor,” 
officiated  as  his  own  priest,  and  burned  sacrifices  to  his  own  soul. 


— 58  — 


No,  my  dear  Captain  of  Industry,  you  have  no  right  to  thank  God  for  your  freedom 
while  the  lash  of  necessity  whips  your  child-workers  and  your  underpaid  workers  to 
labor  as  Persian  generals  once  whipped  their  slaves  to  war. 

No,  Mr.  Voter,  you  have  no  right  to  thank  God  for  your  franchise  while  electors 
are  bought  and  the  elected  are  sold. 

No,  Doctor;  no,  Lawyers,  you  have  no  right  to  thank  God  for  your  growing  prac- 
tice while  legislators  leave  controllable  disease  free  to  steal  into  the  house  of  the 
rich  or  to  stalk  into  the  tenement  of  the  poor;  while  the  man  with  money  may  appeal 
his  case,  and  the  man  without  can  scarcely  have  his  one  day  in  court. 

No,  Professor,  you  have  no  right  to  thank  God  for  your  education  until  education 
is  everywhere  made  compulsory. 

No,  my  dear  madam  and  my  protected  miss,  you  have  no  right  to  thank  God  for 
your  safety  while  your  sisters  are  creatures  of  barter. 

Get  down  on  your  knees;  but  get  down  and  pray  God  that  he  may  drive  into 
your  hearts  the  spur  of  discontent,  of  anger  against  wrong,  of  strength  to  advance. 
And  then  get  up  and  go  out  of  your  church,  and  into  the  streets,  and  there  do  your 
best,  however  little  that  may  be,  toward  ending  the  world’s  abominations. 

Words  are  well  enough;  a sense  of  gratitude  is  commendable;  but  the  only  real 
thankfulness  sends  you  among  those  who  need  help  to  help  themselves  toward  the 
things  that  you  have  been  thanking  God  for  giving  you!” 

Next  to  making  a desert  of  fertility  the  greatest  achievement  of  the  super-man 
consists  of  inducing  every  one  to  be  thankful  for  the  inducted  or  invented  misery  of 
mankind  and  on  this  particular  day  the  glory  of  the  super-man  is  carried  behind  the 


— 59 


bars  of  the  prisons.  Just  what  the  convict  has  to  be  thankful  for  is  not  at  all  ap- 
parent but  if  the  wisdom  of  science  were  within  the  ken  of  the  ordinary  man  it  would 
be  a common  thing. 

There  are  but  few  who  would  elect  to  re-live  their  lives  for  what  they  have  gotten 
out  of  it  hence  the  farce  of  returning  thanks  is  only  a heathenish  custom  of  inad- 
vertently approving  the  blundering  of  the  super-man  who  is  responsible  alike  for 
what  we  have  and  what  we  do  not  have. 

THE  LEAGUE  OF  NATIONS 

Is  the  sensible  realization  of  the  fact  that  parts  or  the  multiplication  of  parts  can 
never  compose  or  dominate  the  Whole  nor  can  any  number  of  parts  function  as  a part 
unless  they  mesh  in  direct  response  to  and  under  the  principle  of  the  Whole.  This 
means  that  until  the  parts  composing  the  entire  part,  or  the  world,  recognize  and  apply 
the  principle  of  the  Whole  as  it  applies  and  relates  to  all  parts  the  parts  will  attempt 
to  function  as  Wholes  with  consequent  collision  as  result.  On  the  present  understand- 
ing the  only  possible  plan  on  which  the  league  could  be  formed  would  be  an  agreed 
procedure  in  treaty  form  embodying  the  impersonated  intelligence  of  the  world  and 
the  world  has  sensed  how  little  strain  such  agreements  will  withstand  and  how  little 
dependence  can  be  placed  on  them.  If  the  world  of  men  had  actual  in  place  of  sim- 
ulated intelligence  there  would  be  no  necessity  for  such  things  as  treaties  but  this  again 
illustrates  the  opposed  results  of  the  efforts  of  man  in  applying  theory  to  actuality. 
The  procedure  for  relief  lies  in  the  design  of  civilization  to  accord  to  the  compre- 
hension of  impellment  which  exists  and  for  that  reason  cannot  be  invented,  construed 


— 60  — 


or  interpreted  other  than  it  is.  Clear  and  unmistakable  is  the  realization  that  parts 
can  never  function  as  Wholes  as  they  relate  to  other  parts.  The  whole  world  only 
means  that  it  is  but  a part  of  the  Whole  and  responds  in  movement  to  the  direct 
impellment  of  the  Whole.  Man  must  realize  that  organization  is  the  very  thing  to 
be  avoided  for  the  reason  that  an  organization  assumes  to  be  and  therefore  functions 
as  a Whole  and  on  the  theory  of  protection,  organization  can  only  be  met  by  organ- 
ization or  another  or  other  parts  functioning  on  the  theory  of  a Whole  the  inevitable 
results  of  which  are  collision  or  the  very  thing  man  does  not  want  and  strives  to 
escape. 

All  parts  of  the  Whole  respond  as  individuals  to  the  impellment  of  the  Whole, 
but  man,  in  his  wisdom,  attempts  to  dominate  the  Whole  by  theoretically  gambling 
with  it.  Civilization  is  impossible  until  parts  composing  the  part  (world)  respond  alike 
to  the  direct  impellment  of  the  Whole.  This  means  that  the  nations  composing  the 
world,  as  it  appertains  to  man,  must  comprehend  and  respond  alike  to  the  impellment 
of  the  Whole.  There  is  not  anything  to  gain  but  there  is  everything  to  lose  by  and 
from  any  other  attempt. 

EPITOME 

The  literal  meaning  of  “Tertium  Quid”  in  redefinement  as  described  in  the  fore- 
going, is  that  Motion  is  the  third  something  produced  by  the  collision  of  two  dif- 
ferently proportioned  quantities  of  atomic  materials  under  the  continuous  pressure 
of  volume  quantity  as  continuous  impellment  and  evidenced  as  and  by  Movement,  but  it 
must  be  realized  that  it  is  a dual  process,  i.  e.,  Motion  is  only  possible  by  Movement 
and  Movement  is  only  possible  by  Motion,  or  construction  is  only  possible  by  the 

— 61  — 


destruction  of  formation  and  destruction  is  only  possible  by  construction  of  formation, 
and  that  neither  is  possible  without  material  in  atomic  form  and  the  volume  pressure 
of  the  Whole. 

Man  has  ever  been  trained  to  compute  with  his  eyes  and  this  computation  is 
utterly  worthless  to  establish  comprehension  for  it  is  what  is  insensible  that  demands 
computation  if  man  ever  gains  enlightenment: — But  comprehensive  computation  is 
rendered  comparatively  easy  by  the  realization  that  visability  is  only  a sensible  dupli- 
cation of  invisability  in  so  far  as  principle  is  concerned,  hence  by  starting  computa- 
tion at  simple  combination  or  the  formation  composing  the  invisible  Whole,  the  com- 
plex combinations  of  visability  may  be  unerringly  computed.  By  holding  to  the 
realization  that  the  two  atomic  materials  compose  Motion,  evidence  Movement  and 
furnish  Impellment  in  the  manner  described  by  the  formula  from  and  by  which  the 
two  only  occurrences  of  the  Whole  are  produced  in  the  diversified  forms  as  Union  and 
the  subsequent  Collisions  of  the  forms.  Sensibility  or  consciousness  is  only  to  be 
accepted  as  verifiable  evidence  of  the  comprehension  of  Cause.  It  goes  without  say- 
ing that  it  will  require  diligent  study  to  establish  comprehension  as  such — but  the 
attainment  will  not  be  the  disappointing  result  that  has  been  the  lot  of  man  through- 
out the  centuries — for  mystery  is  reduced  to  the  determination  of  material,  a thing 
impossible  and  of  no  concern  to  man.  By  reason  of  the  fact  that  man  has  always  and 
ever  based  computation  on  and  from  sensible  result,  it  follows  that  his  descriptions 
have  been  likewise.  This  fact  is  particularly  in  evidence  in  and  as  our  truest  science, 
viz.,  Mathematics.  In  purely  scientific  computation  there  is  really  no  such  thing  as 
one  for  all  there  is,  is  formation  or  a Union  of  two  to  compose  our  descriptive  or  sen- 

— 62  — 


sible,  one,  hence  combination  or  a further  Union  could  only  consist  of  four  prepon- 
derantly opposed  quantities  of  atomic  materials  and  as  collisions  are  both  simultan- 
eous and  consecutive  repetitions  it  is  practically  impossible  to  compute  them  as  one. 
Comprehension  must  always  embrace  the  fact  that  the  two  formations  composing  the 
Whole  always  impell  and  enter  into  both  occurrences. 

Science  is  worthless  for  any  other  purpose  than  to  return  such  information  as 
will  enable  true  adaptation  and  true  adaptation  means  such  conduct  of  civilization 
that  man  will  live  or  hold  form  without  misery.  The  elimination  of  misery  will  only 
be  possible  when  man  frees  himself  from  the  inculcated  beliefs  of  the  so-called  super- 
man, and  it  is  only  by  individual  comprehension  of  actuality  that  mankind  will  be 
relieved  of  the  theories  that  are  and  ever  have  been  responsible  for  the  plight  of  so- 
called  civilization,  its  foolish  laws  and  its  drastic  penalties  and  its  myriad  of  para- 
sites that  temporarily  and  theoretically  thrive  on  the,  misery  of  mankind. 

When  man  realizes  that  science  is  blunder  and  that  excuse  or  explanation  is 
scientific  apology  for  the  blunder,  he  will  have  made  the  first  break  in  the  attempt 
to  gain  enlightenment  and  he  will  insist  and  assist  in  installing  principle  for  the 
conduct  of  civilization  in  place  of  experimenting  with  orators,  plumed  knights,  crowned 
and  uncrowned  kings  and  other  fabled  impersonators  of  intelligence. 

Without  question  the  world  of  men  have  been  led  and  governed  by  its  duly  acclaimed 
greatest  and-  who  but  an  insane  optimist  can  be  satisfied  with  past  or  present  condi- 
tions. In  a land  teeming  with  plenty,  with  millions  of  men  not  only  anxious  to  work 
but  diligently  seeking  it — with  others  slowly  starving  and  with  the  majority  perfectly 
satisfied  if  they  can  only  get  by,  we  are  compelled  to  accept  the  assurances  that  such 

— 63  — 


conditions  are  only  the  logical  aftermath  of  war;  but  we  have  had  similar  conditions 
when  there  was  no  war.  Along  with  this  hackneyed  monologue  we  are  informed  that 
the  Law  of  supply  and  demand  is  not  working,  but  we  are  instructed  to  be  patient — 
“That  matters  will  finally  adjust  themselves.”  The  veriest  idiot  could  make  like 
statement  with  the  same  assurance  of  ultimate  fulfillment,  so  where  is  intelligence  in 
evidence?  Clear  and  unmistakable  is  the  realization  that  we  cannot  have  actuality  by 
installing  theories  in  its  stead  and  then  patching  the  theories  with  supplemental 
theories.  It  is  up  to  mankind  to  get  away  from  an  understanding  by  and  of  beliefs 
of  simulated  intelligences  impersonated  by  overlords  of  diversified  titles. 

It  must  be  realized  that  the  understanding  of  man  was  and  is  evolved  by  and  from 
the  deductions  of  the  globe  and  the  sensible  occurrences  thereof.  The  solution  shows 
that  all  formations  are  only  possible,  first  by  inception  or  simple  formation  and  that 
sensible  formations  are  further  or  complex  combinations  of  simple  formation.  This 
computation  can  be  applied  to  the  globe  as  well  as  all  other  bodies  or  parts  of  the 
Whole — hence  the  globe  was  at  one  time  an  invisible  formation  and  by  further  com- 
bination has  increased  its  bulk  to  its  present  size  and  as  all  formations  must  either 
increase  or  lose  combination  the  fact  is  that  the  globe  is  increasing  its  bulk  and  will 
continue  to  do  so.  It  is  only  a matter  of  time  until,  by  thus  increasing  in  size,  the 
velocity  of  the  axial  movement  will  be  accentuated,  which  in  turn  will  call  for  a 
larger  orbit  and  it  will'  successively  occupy  the  orbits  of  the  planets  in  their  succes- 
sive distances  from  the  dead-center  of  the  Whole.  This  exhibits  the  lunacy  of  attempt- 
ing to  evolve  understanding  by  what  is  sensed  and  believed  by  computing  a part  as 
a Whole.  There  is  not  anything  in  the  foregoing  intended  to  disparage  what  experi- 


— 64  — 


ment  has  enabled  man  to  do  nor  will  we  ever  be  relieved  of  experiment  for  combina- 
tion determination  but  it  will  never  supply  or  enable  comprehension.  That  men  have 
diligently  labored  to  evolve  understanding  is  not  to  be  denied  but  the  anguish  these 
men  have  endured  in  recognizing  the  utter  failure  will  never  be  realized  for  the  men 
who  were  competent  to  evolve  comprehension  were  also  of  such  caliber  as  to  be  able 
to  recognize  defeat,  hence  they  remained  silent. 

These  men  have  rendered  important  conclusions  but  as  they  were  only  conclu- 
sions of  determinations  of  parts  it  meant  that  such  conclusions  only  served  to  inten- 
sify mystery.  For  this  reason  they  were  always  over-shadowed  by  the  fool  with  a 
theory  who  could  also  supply  explanation  by  theory  and  then  demand  that  it  be  dis- 
proved or  stand  as  true. 

The  fact  is  that  mankind  has  always  been  amused  or  entertained  by  the  clown  and 
led  by  the  knave  for  they  are  never  under  the  restraint  of  intelligent  combination  and 
are  thereby  devoid  of  realization,  hence  the  more  wild  and  impossible  the  theory  the 
more  readily  he  believes  and  the  more  easliy  he  imposes  creduality.  It  is  a fact  that 
the  less  a man  actually  knows  about  a thing  the  more  he  can  talk  about  it  and  is 
authority  for  the  recognitive  statement  that — “Every  time  a man  opens  his  mouth  he 
puts  his  foot  into  it.”  The  conclusion  that  “material  is  indestructable”  is  a true  and 
sound  conclusion  but  the  man  who  evolved  it  is  unknown  and  never  received  the 
credit  due  him.  This,  like  many  similar  conclusions,  exhibits  the  chasm  that  exists 
between  comprehension  and  sensement,  for  while  this  conclusion  is  true  it  is  not 
known  why  it  is  so.  The  solution  shows  that  it  is  an  impossibility  to  actually  change 
material — That  change  consists  of  the  change  of  form  only  and  that  such  change  is 


— 65  — 


only  possible  by  shifting  the  combinations  to  respond  to  the  Impellment  of  the  Whole. 
In  contrast  to  this  conclusion  is  one  by  theory.  Shortly  after  the  war  it  was  suggested 
by  some  bright  one  that  the  entire  world  unite  to  completely  destroy  the  cootie.  If 
this  man  had  not  been  utterly  devoid  of  realization  he  would  have  realized  that  the 
louse  is  being  formed  continually  by  and  from  the  atomic  material  eliminations  of  all 
animal  formations,  hence  the  futility  of  ridding  the  world  of  them  in  the  manner 
advocated.  The  purpose  and  theme  of  all  the  foregoing  is  flowers  for  the  living,  for  as 
some  one  has  succinctly  stated,  a man  is — “A  damned  poor  judge  of  flowers  when  he 
is  dead.”  But  it  is  only  by  supplanting  science  with  comprehension  that  we  can 
make  the  transition.  It  will  be  noted  that  no  political  ceremonial  of  oration  is  ever 
quite  complete  without  due  reference  to  Washington  and  Lincoln  and  the  hackneyed 
phrase  is  that — “They  builded  better  than  they  knew.”  The  fact  is  that  they  were 
confronted  by  the  same  problems  as  the  man  of  today.  They  had  their  troubles  and 
came  no  nearer  solution  than  is  possible  for  man  to  render  on  his  understanding  by 
belief.  From  this  it  will  be  sensed  that  veneration  does  not  supply  comprehension 
either.
